New Horizons Rehabilitation Services is a private, nonprofit organization, serving people throughout southeastern Michigan. New Horizons' roots date back to 1964 when three volunteers from the Junior League of Birmingham saw a need in the community for a place that would provide job skills and meaningful employment for people with disabilities. The Junior League provided the initial funds and New Horizons opened its first facility in Royal Oak in 1965 with an executive director, a foreman and five consumers. The organization has grown to nearly 10 branch locations, has numerous work sites in the community and serves more than five counties in southeastern Michigan. It provides a variety of vocational and other rehabilitation services to people with disabilities as well as those with other barriers to employment.
