A Little
about who we are
Special Growers is a program of Special Opps, Inc, a 501c3 Tennessee Corporation with the mission of “providing job training and employment opportunities to disabled adults in Blount County ''.
In 2010, a few parents of special needs young adults were hit with a question, “What’s next for my child after high school graduation?” Unfortunately, the answer was, “there really isn’t much.”
Therefore, Special Growers was launched with the support of many community partners and individuals to provide a safe and inclusive work environment for our disabled staff to learn job skills, gain confidence, and prepare for their future careers.
