Papercrete Works
Papercrete Works is a program of Johnson county Developmental Supports that creates community integrated employment for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. People served can earn an hourly wage while learning new job skills and working toward achieving their goals in employment.
Papercrete is a mixture of cement, water and recycled paper. The crew of individuals served and staff work together to pour it into molds to create unique products. Proceeds from the sales go back into the program.
Our Mission
