Many of our members were part of a pilot project that allowed individuals with significant disabilities to be accepted into college. Now, as young adults, they continue to push the boundaries of social equality and inspire others in the community.
Our mission is to ensure that all our members have equal status. This means everyone is accepted and treated with respect, given an opportunity to contribute, and knows they are valued.
Thank you for supporting our 501(c)(3) nonprofit and adults with intellectual disabilities. Your financial gift means the world to us!
We believe that we learn and grow when we collaborate with others in the community. We need support from volunteers to assist with fundraising and program events, and participate in community visibility and broader initiative planning to continue building our mission. Volunteers have contributed to our event execution, social media platforms, planning committees and community outreach events, such as Disability Pride Festival.
