By focusing on the people we serve through programs and individualized planning, MRCI WorkSource has continued to operate as a true leader in the field of adult rehabilitation. 

 

MRCI is one of Minnesota's largest and most diverse providers of employment and day services. We are a private, non-profit organization, that serves individuals in Southern Minnesota and the Twin Cities Metro Area. 

 

 

A History of Service 

Formally known as Mankato Rehabilitation Center Incorporated, MRCI began in Mankato, Minnesota with the mission of rehabilitating individuals with disabilities. Over 50 years later that core undertaking is included in the organization’s mission statement – a touchstone by which the organization is governed and decisions are made: “Creating innovative and genuine opportunities for people with disabilities or disadvantages to support their community participation.”

 

Today, MRCI is privileged to participate in the lives of

more than 4,000 individuals located throughout southern

Minnesota including the Twin Cities Metro Area.

The organization has grown from playing a role in several

local economies, to becoming a major part of the region’s

economy. More importantly, MRCI WorkSource is serving

more people than ever before through innovative

employment programs including Community

Employment, Client Directed Services, Center-Based

Employment, Day Training & Habilitation, and the

Welfare to Work program, among several others.

 

MRCI is a private, non-profit organization governed

by 18 board members representing various

backgrounds and communities where MRCI

WorkSource operates. Currently, MRCI has

over 300 full-time paid staff and approximately

20 part-time paid staff, that work primarily in

Mankato, Chaska, Fairmont, Rosemount,

New Ulm, and Shakopee. In addition, MRCI

WorkSource has an active Auxiliary that make

up a majority of the 120 individuals that

annually volunteer at  two MRCI Thrift Shop locations,

which serve as a major funding source for

MRCI programs.
