Who We Are
Options Mississauga is a federally incorporated charity that has operated a successful social enterprise in the Port Credit area of Mississauga since 1993.
Our Mission
Options Mississauga provides unique programs, including employment training and paid work experience, for individuals aged 18+ who are neurodiverse or have an intellectual disability, empowering them to build skills, confidence, and independence.
Our Vision

Our Programs
We offer four training programs for individuals who are over the age of 18 and finished high school.

We use the infrastructure of our retail printing and office services store to provide skills development related to retail employment, and provide a pool of potential candidates for internal employment in our organization.
Arts Training Program
We offer training by professional artists to individuals who are interested in developing a self-directed career as artists.
