BH Services is a community rehabilitation program that works closely with NISH, a national non-profit facilitator of the AbilityOne program, to provide employment opportunities for people with disabilities. BH Services was formed in 1996 to oversee the Black Hills Workshop’s federal contracts. Employment is provided to more than 200 people with disabilities in the Rapid City, SD and Omaha, NE areas.
For people with disabilities, overcoming prejudice in the workplace has been an ongoing challenge. In 1938, the federal government began to confront this problem when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Wagner-O'Day Act. This groundbreaking effort ultimately evolved into what is now the AbilityOne Program, formerly the Jarvits-Wagner-O'Day Program (JWOD).
