Employment Training


The Old East Village Grocer is operated by ATN Access Inc., a local nonprofit organization that specializes in providing employment training to persons with disabilities or significant barriers. This community grocer will serve as a vocational training site for clients of ATN.

Did you know that we aim to have over 40 clients trained here every year and that more than 75% will confidently transition into employment after their training program is finished? A powerful initiative, changing lives one training program at a time.
