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.
80% of people with disabilities don’t have a job. Over 1,000,000 more Americans with disabilities have lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Prospector is a solution to the unemployment crisis.
Meaningful employment is vital to a person’s mental, social, financial, and emotional health. We improve the quality of life for countless people with disabilities, their families, and their communities.
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!
