In 1972, Wayne County voters approved a 1.4 mill levy making way for the construction of the first adult workshop located at 266 Oldman Road, Wooster, Ohio. In November 1979, new additions were necessary to serve the growing number of adult clients. This location now provides Adult Day Support. In 1996, 100 individuals were located at an alternative location on Spruce Street in Wooster to accommod

ate work on a packing line thanks to a strong, ongoing corporate partnership with D + S Distribution. Additional work contracts from International Paper and Rubbermaid created a need for more space in 2001. Nick Amster moved to Hillcrest Drive where it could upgrade shipping and receiving facilities and have additional room to expand. All of the production services moved in 2008 to the Wooster Industrial Center on Old Mansfield Road. The new space consolidates the all the work teams in one location and provides ample space for production work. This location serves 155 individuals who chose and have the abilities to work in production. is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. In 2016, the Board began steps to privatize Nick Amster in preparation of State mandates to eliminate workshops under county Boards of Developmental Disabilities.

Today was a great day of building skills, giving back, and making a difference in our community!

Our team spent time working on a variety of hands-on skills, including painting, spreading gravel, and assisting with a community project that will help create a home and resource that benefits others for years to come.

These opportunities not only help develop valuable work and life skills, but also allow us to take pride in contributing to something bigger than ourselves. We are grateful for the chance to learn, grow, and make a positive impact alongside our community partners.

We had a great day visiting the The Cleo Redd Fisher Museum, where we had the opportunity to learn about the rich history of the Mohican area! 🏛️

Our individuals enjoyed connecting with staff, asking questions about the exhibits, and learning more about the stories and history of our local community. It was a wonderful experience to step back in time, explore the past of our area, and meet new people along the way.

Experiences like these create opportunities for learning, community engagement, and meaningful connections! ❤️

Our individuals are absolutely loving their volunteer experience with Wayne County Habitat for Humanity Restore as they assist with projects that help support building a new home in our community! 🏠❤️

Through this opportunity, our individuals in the Vocational Habilitation program have been learning and developing so many valuable skills including landscaping, painting, cleaning, organizing supplies, and handling multiple tasks. Beyond building practical job skills, they are also gaining experience working alongside community members, learning teamwork, task delegation, and receiving hands-on training in a real-world environment.

This has been an incredible opportunity for growth, inclusion, and community engagement, and we are so grateful for the experience.
