Trillium Employment Services
We are a business resource helping Washington companies build an inclusive workforce and partners with businesses to assist with staffing efficiencies. We are not your traditional staffing company that just fills open positions.

Trillium helps businesses recruit, train and advance employees with developmental disabilities. We believe businesses are stronger when they have diverse abilities in their workforce. We offer companies solutions that fill labor gaps, strengthen business, and improve diversity.

Trillium is a nonprofit organization, serving Washington since 1983. We are funded through public resources, so businesses do not pay for Trillium’s consultation services.

The congregation of Riverton Park United Methodist Church welcomes all people into the mission and ministry of being the body of Christ together in the world.

Who qualifies for Volunteer Services?
Volunteer Services uses the following criteria to prioritize services:

• Age 65 or older, or 18 years of age and living with a functional disability (including temporary disabilities).
• Live independently in your own residence.
• Monthly income of around $1,000 per month or less for a single-person household, and $1,500 or less for a couple.*

*VS does not have strict financial criteria -- its purpose is to serve as a safety net for those who do not qualify for DSHS chore services (COPES) and cannot afford to pay for private chore services themselves. Volunteer Services considers factors such as medical expenses to determine eligibility.
