It started in 1982 when our founder, Zen Buddhist Bernie Glassman, built Greyston Bakery to employ individuals who faced barriers to meaningful employment. The hiring process was simple, accept anyone with a will to work, a process we now call Open Hiring®. That means no interviews, no background checks, and no resumes are required to get a job. Recognizing that employment is just the first step toward self-sufficiency, Greyston quickly expanded into several social and community services areas.
In 2020, we announced our 10-year vision to provide employment opportunities to at least 40,000 of the ten million Americans facing barriers to employment. We’re scaling our mission and leading the effort to develop effective solutions that address the underlying causes of employment challenges. Through our new Greyston Employment Opportunity Center (GEOC), job seekers can access training and education programs, youth services, and transitional employment services. The GEOC also offers business services for employers interested in replicating inclusive hiring or who quickly need new skilled workers.
