Who We Are
We are a nonprofit organization committed to creating inclusive, meaningful experiences for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Our goal is simple — to ensure every individual feels seen, valued, and connected.
Mission Statement:
“Our mission is to empower and support individuals with special needs by providing inclusive programs, resources, and opportunities that promote independence, social engagement, and community integration. We strive to enhance the quality of life for our participants through advocacy, education, and the celebration of their unique abilities, fostering a more inclusive society where everyone can thrive.”
Vision Statement:
We envision a community where young adults with special needs are fully included and empowered through employment, social gatherings and educational programs. By fostering connections between individuals of all abilities, we create opportunities for growth, learning, and meaningful participation in an inclusive society.
Emphasize Inclusion and Community:Our events will include volunteer students and adults that will understand how to support the special needs population. Learning and using inclusive language will create safe spaces where people feel welcomed, understood, and appreciated. Community and social interactions offer a dynamic platform for individuals with disabilities to support their mental and emotional well-being, enhance physical health, pursue lifelong learning, and develop self-esteem and confidence.
