Benchmark Human Services

About

Benchmark Human Services’ development began in 1957 when a community volunteer committee, which would ultimately become the United Way of Allen County (Indiana), launched a study about providing work-related services for individuals with disabilities. From that study, an organization was founded in 1960 that would later become known as Anthony Wayne Services (AWS). The organization was known as AWS until 2010, when it launched Benchmark Human Services to take the AWS model of services and expertise to new program and geographic areas. Because of Benchmark’s robust growth, AWS took on the Benchmark name and became known as AWS/Benchmark Human Services.  On January 1, 2015, AWS/Benchmark officially became Benchmark Human Services.
