To serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

It was a bold idea for its time. Melwood started in 1963 when a small group of parents and supporters decided to teach plant care to young adults who were considered by most to be untrainable, and unemployable. Their goal was almost unheard of: jobs for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities. In addition, Melwood operates a training center that graduates more than 60 workers each year, a 108-acre inclusive camp Kampakomplish for people with and without disabilities in beautiful Charles County, Maryland, a travel service Access Adventures for adults with disabilities and 32 supported living residences.
