About Us
Who We Are
Empowering People. Transforming Workplaces
For over 25 years, reachAbility has been dedicated to one mission: equalizing the playing field for Nova Scotians facing barriers. We are a grassroots charitable organization that believes true inclusion starts with action.
For Individuals:
We provide a supportive launchpad for personal growth and employment. Our free, customized programs, ranging from self-awareness and wellness workshops to 1-on-1 employment coaching – help participants build the “personal toolkit” they need to thrive in our community.
For Business:
We are your partner in building a workforce that welcomes everyone. Beyond just “checking a box,” we curate meaningful partnerships through expert inclusion training, keynote speakers, and diverse hiring solutions. Together, we don’t just talk about accessible workplaces; we build them.
25 Years of Caring for People
What We Do
reachAbility opens doors for anyone facing barriers to community life. Our programs are open to everyone—no formal diagnosis or disability label required. We believe in creating equality through education rather than litigation, so we partner with organizations to build diverse, accessible workplaces from the ground up.
“No one goes nowhere.”
When Tova asks new reachAbility clients what they’re good at, the answer is too often: “Nothing.”
We disagree. While the workforce isn’t the right fit for everyone, we believe everyone has a destination. Our programs aren’t just about jobs—they’re about uncovering your unique skills and building the confidence to thrive in your own life.
By focusing on depth over distance—serving just 500 people a year—we provide the dedicated support needed to move forward.
