Melwood is proud to have been chosen as the host organization for Nationwide Tour’s stop in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Melwood is a unique community asset in the National Capital area.

Through Melwood's services, individuals with disabilities receive opportunities in job training, employment, community living, leisure and travel. Melwood provides resources for the social and economic inclusion of people with disabilities and for promoting their ongoing personal success.

Headquartered in Upper Marlboro, Maryland since 1963, Melwood now serves over 2,100 people annually.

Melwood is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit social service agency, an officially registered charitable organization in Maryland and Virginia, and has been a proud member of the National Capital Area United Way for over 40 years.

Internationally recognized as a model rehabilitation program, Melwood operates a training center graduating more than 60 workers with developmental disabilities each year, and employs approximately 1000 people with developmental disabilities in the Washington, D.C. area. Melwood is a dependable source of top quality services to the public and private sectors through contracts with Federal Government agencies, state, county and local governments, and with commercial firms. Melwood workers hold positions at more than 70 work sites, including NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the Smithsonian Museum.

Melwood's 108-acre retreat and camp offers high quality recreation for adults with disabilities and for children, and serves as headquarters for Access Adventures, an affordable travel center offering exciting trips to places such as Disney World and to beach and mountain destinations.

Melwood's goal is to offer a good quality of life to more people with disabilities, who have historically been underemployed and barred from needed services, supports and personal freedoms needed to live full and rewarding lives. The Nationwide PGA Tour offers hope to many more of these individuals, as well as their friends and families, that they, too, will enjoy inclusion and independence.

Vision
A world where people with disabilities are fully included.
