About Us

GCS, Inc. believes in the "People Concept"... The people we serve at GCS pay our salaries. If it weren't for our program participants, we wouldn't have a job! That concepts drives us toward continuous program improvement and growth.

Greene County Skills, Inc. (GCS) is a private,  non-profit service agency - established on October 1,1973 in Greeneville, Tennessee. The agency is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors from the community.   We have shown a long-standing record of commitment to the needs of citizens with disabilities in our community. GCS was initially started by a group of parents concerned about their children with disabilities being home without activities or alone while they were at work.   Together, they opened a small Day Center which today, now serves over 130 individuals through a large variety of services:

In 2002, GCS, Inc. purchased property in the heart of Greeneville (formerly Lowe's of Greeneville) and renovations began thanks to the success of a business venture with a local industry.  The new facility is home to all day program operations and offices and is totally handicap accessible, meeting the needs of the individuals we serve.

GCS now offers: Day Center - Teaching Daily Life Skills and Work Readiness Community Involvement Activities Family Model Residential Care (Foster Care) Family Support Services Respite Care Supported Employment Opportunities Supported Living with 24-Hour Supervision Transportation Case Management
