Relay Resources

For more than 75 years, Relay Resources has been proving what's possible when disabled people have access to meaningful employment, opportunity, and belonging.

Now, we're proud to share that story.

In a recent interview on OPB's Think Out Loud podcast with host Dave Miller, Relay President and CEO Dr. Jennifer Camota Luebke shares how Relay is transforming workplaces and communities through disability inclusion, how Relay plans to help other companies build cultures of inclusion, and why creating a future where all disabled people belong has never been more important.

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a day that honors freedom and the continued pursuit of a more just and inclusive society.

Juneteenth is a time to reflect on the progress that has been made, acknowledge the inequities that persist, and recommit ourselves to creating communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

At Relay, we recognize that Black disabled people continue to navigate the intersections of racism and ableism. Building a more inclusive future requires listening, learning, and taking action to ensure every person is valued, supported, and empowered to belong.

At Relay Resources, centering people with disabilities is not a slogan, it’s how we design our workforce.

We are building an organizational future where inclusion, accessibility, and belonging are a lived experience for all.

Most organizations employ one HR professional for every 100 employees. We take a different approach, investing in a wide variety of staff positions to create a robust support system tailored to the needs of our workforce.

We're actively building a future where ALL disabled people belong. Everywhere.

During Employee Wellness Month, we’re naming what’s often overlooked: Wellness at work is shaped by systems, not individual resilience.

At Relay, we design for that, building environments where people are supported, valued, and able to fully participate:

✅ Our commitment to well being is woven into the fabric of our organization, not treated as an afterthought.

✅ Accommodations & Inclusion Specialists ensure employees have the support they need to do their best work.

✅ Resource Navigators help employees access resources needed for life inside and outside the workplace.

✅ We offer an Employee Resource Closet so employees always have access to everyday essentials.

✅ We intentionally design spaces and programs that support the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. When people feel safe and supported, they can do their best work.

✅ Employees have access to curated wellness tools and digital resources to help manage stress, build resilience, and support overall well being on their own terms.

✅ Thoughtfully designed sensory rooms and break spaces throughout our campus give employees opportunities to decompress and care for themselves during the workday.

✅ Every employee can request ergonomic accommodations to support comfort, accessibility, and long-term well being.

We're proud to partner with the Portland Metro Chamber as an Accessibility Partner for its Annual Meeting, bringing together more than 750 business, civic, and community leaders for a conversation about Portland's future.

As leaders discuss the next chapter of economic revitalization, accessibility helps ensure more people can participate in the conversations shaping our region.

At Relay, we believe the future is stronger when more people have a seat at the table. Planning an event? Contact [email protected] to learn more about Relay's accessibility services.
