About Vodec

VODEC is a private, non-profit founded in 1968. VODEC was started when a group of parents, teachers, and elected officials banded together to create a community-based employment program for their loved ones with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Since that day, more families have joined VODEC helping us to create many programs and services.

Today VODEC provides day programs, employment programs, and residential programs in Nebraska and Iowa that are designed to meet the needs of the individuals and help communities reach their full potential!
