WE WORK HARD.

We use education, engagement, and entertainment to showcase our incredible talents and employability. Prospects work every job at the Theater – selling tickets, popping popcorn, filming, hosting events, editing, programming, landscaping, embroidery, service learning, marketing, information technology, strategic planning, graphic design, ICT, game design, grant writing, baking, research, web design, data analytics, costume-making, and so much more!

WE ARE NEEDED.

More than 80% of Americans with disabilities don't have a job.

The Prospector is a solution to this unemployment crisis.

Meaningful employment is vital to a person’s mental, social, financial, and emotional health. We improve the quality of life for countless adults with disabilities, their families, and communities.

Last November, we celebrated our 10th anniversary! In December, we were featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show. This year, we plan to expand our gourmet popcorn program! We have secured an ideal location in Ridgefield, CT which will serve as our new production facility. We hope to complete construction by the end of 2025.

WE USE SPARKLE.

Through the operation of our movie theater, Prospects are paired with jobs that highlight their strengths and passions - or as we call it, “sparkle”.

Each new release generates dozens of opportunities to use our sparkle as we transform ordinary moviegoing into memorable experiences.

We offer products that people want – good movies, fresh popcorn, entertaining pre-show content, clean facilities, and unparalleled customer service!

When you see movies with us, you create the thousands of business operations and interactions that fuel The Prospector's mission!

WE ARE GROWING.

In 2014, during the year of The Prospector's inception, we also started an online popcorn business called Prospector Popcorn. We have been gradually growing over the years and recently have exploded in our success. We have been operating the popcorn business from a small kitchen at the Theater and because of our growth, we have expanded into a 5,000 square foot popcorn factory and fulfillment center.

Moreover, we are being sold in over 100 hotels nationwide and we ship our products to all 50 states!

With our expansion, we can create even more jobs for people with disabilities!
