Marrakech is a diverse nonprofit organization that has been providing person-centered, unique, and cost-effective human services for children and adults with and without disabilities throughout Connecticut since 1971. The services provided and individuals we support are diverse. But, there is a common goal: assist individuals with achieving greater self-sufficiency while they experience the best quality of life possible.

Our caring, inclusive and supportive team serves over 1,000 individuals each year. They are our neighbors with disabilities, our children transitioning to adulthood, our friends battling with addiction, homelessness, and mental illness, and our community members who need to acquire skills to find a job or make ends meet. We do this by providing homes, building skills, supporting families, and helping people reach their potential. The result: stronger communities.

Marrakech, Inc. subscribes to a practice that assures that each person who is referred for services has a highly individualized service plan. Marrakech works diligently with funding sources to use resources effectively. The organization’s community and employment services are accredited by CARF International.

Mission

To provide residential, employment, support, referral, and advocacy services to individuals with disabilities and people with similar service needs to assist them in exercising their human rights as citizens and contributing members of society.

Vision

Our Vision is that each person we serve will live and work in the community and be accepted by their neighbors, co-workers, family, friends, and acquaintances for their individual qualities and contributions.

Our Culture

Marrakech's founding was rooted in a desire to create a culture of inclusion, not just for our organization and the people we serve, but for those who live and work in the larger community as well. From the very beginning, we understood that every hour that someone experiences exclusion for being deemed "other" results in trauma as well as inequity on both an individual and societal level.

Marrakech remains committed to cultivating inclusion and togetherness.  We respect the uniqueness of the people we support and our employees, and value the diversity of their race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, age, and position within the company.  Equity and inclusion are embedded in the organization's core values and we proudly embrace the diverse backgrounds, cultures, perspectives, and life experiences of our employees and the people we support.
