Who we are

Lime Connect is a global not for profit 501(c)(3) organization that's rebranding disability through achievement. We do that by attracting, preparing, and connecting high potential university students and professionals - including veterans - who happen to have all types of disabilities for scholarships, internships, The Lime Connect Fellowship Program, and full time careers with our corporate partners - the world's leading corporations.

We are breaking stereotypes and leading companies of every size, industry and location to understand the importance of, and fully value, the talent and strengths that employees with disabilities bring to the workplace. Current programs are focused on the U.S. and Canada.

Lime is not an acronym. The brand was developed to represent a fresh approach in the disability talent space, and that Lime's work is the "wave of the future."

We connect our corporate partners to a pool of talent that matches their top hiring profiles - high potential candidates they might not meet otherwise.

And, members of The Lime Network enjoy a lifelong experience that goes far beyond connecting for careers. Through our professional development offerings, coaching and social events, we develop community and provide members with some of the tools, and the self-confidence, to reach their full potential professionally and personally.

Our partners

Lime Connect is proud to partner with the world's leading corporations in our work to rebrand disability through achievement - companies that fully integrate disability as a part of their overall talent strategy, and value the diverse perspectives that employees with disabilities possess. Together, with members of The Lime Network, we are breaking stereotypes and changing the way the world views individuals who happen to have disabilities. We are leading companies of all size, industry and location to fully value the talent and strengths that employees with disabilities bring to the workplace.

Partnering with Lime Connect is about being "smart" - not about being "nice."

We enjoy a strategic community partnership with EyetoEye, a national mentoring movement run by, and for, those with learning and attention issues. Lime provides professional development for Alumn'Eye, and encourages them to join The Lime Network for career opportunities with our partners.

We are also proud to have Weil, Gotshal & Manges serve as our pro bono legal counsel.

Support our work

"I personally see the advantages of being dyslexic as a successful venture capitalist, but I also know well that people with disabilities can have a hard time being fully appreciated in the standard recruiting process. Lime’s work is changing this scenario, and I am both proud and excited to support it." Scott Sandell, NEA
