Snubs experienced by people with disabilities inspired Jim Atwater to establish Aptly, which provides employment assistance for underserved people.

Changemakers is a series spotlighting emerging nonprofit leaders within our community. Flatland is publishing the stories on Mondays between Nov. 7 and Jan. 9. The videos will also air frequently between shows on Kansas City PBS. Changemakers is a partnership between Kansas City PBS, The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, and Network Connectors, a nonprofit based in Kansas City, Missouri.

We’re Flatland, a destination for those who share boundless curiosity, home of curiousKC, and the digital platform of Kansas City PBS.
