The Prospector

About This Project

Summary

The Prospector is a 501(c)(3) non-profit creating competitive and inclusive job opportunities for people with disabilities. The Organization runs a four screen first run movie theater, e-commerce popcorn business, and has a full service media arts and production department. In addition to the operations and employment opportunities at The Prospector, we serve as a resource and model for other employers to employ educate, and elevate their workforce to combat the unemployment epidemic in the US.

Goals & Objectives

80 percent of American's with disabilities do not have jobs in this country and we want to change that. 75% of our workforce self identifies with a disability, and The Prospector has employed 322+ people, but in order to change that statistic we need to do more.

Results & Impact

In 10 years of operation we have payed out 24,360,000 in payroll to employees, provided service to over 800,000 guests, as well as sold 105,000+ bags of our Gourmet Popcorn online. Our in house generated video content has been viewed over 17,000,000+ times, and so, so much more than I can fit here.
