What is the Family Employment First Coalition (FEFC)?
The Division of Disability and Rehabilitative Services (DDRS) and the Center on Community Living and Careers (CCLC) lead the Family Employment First Coalition (FEFC). This group brings together family and disability advocates across Indiana. We aim to improve each group member’s knowledge of the transition to adulthood and competitive integrated employment for young adults with disabilities. FEFC shares the latest resources with group members, ensuring everyone has the right tools to be successful.
