About Gateway Ink, a Merakey Program

Merakey Gateway Ink is a social enterprise screen printing business, which provides a job training program for young adults with autism and other related disabilities. Participants have the opportunity to earn a real paycheck in a supported environment while developing transferable vocational and social skills.

The purpose of Merakey Gateway Ink is to prepare young adults with autism and other related disabilities for meaningful work in the community. Individual training techniques, emotional regulation strategies, and communication tools are developed to aid them in the workplace. All participant progress is collected in a daily work shift report that is later reviewed and used to guide participants towards further growth and strengthening of their skills.

Merakey Gateway Ink is intended to be a stepping stone to a career that fits the strengths and needs of each individual. The goal is to lay a foundation for future employment by providing work experience and training based on the wants and need of each participant.
