The Lucille Tutera HIRED Program
HIRED: Helping Individuals Realize Employment Dreams
The HIRED Program stands as a lasting tribute to Lucille Tutera, a beloved matriarch of The Farmer’s House. Known for her unparalleled work ethic—working well into her 90s—and her deep passion for helping others, Lucille was a true friend to all.
HIRED serves as a pathway to competitive, community-based employment for individuals with developmental disabilities by offering practical work experience and a supportive environment through short-term, paid internships in our Markets.
Our goal is to provide meaningful employment opportunities—particularly for those transitioning from high school to adulthood—while showcasing their talents and expanding employment possibilities within our markets and the broader community.
Stay connected for more program details, internship applications, and the official launch date.
