Empowering the Community
Simply put, we are run by people with disabilities for people with disabilities.
We prove that what you want for your life is possible. Since 1976, we have worked hand-in-hand with you to help you live the life you want to live. Our mission is to empower the lives of people with disabilities and advocate for a more inclusive community for all.
In addition to providing individualized services, community advocacy, and group workshops for your self-improvement, we are a dynamic community enrichment and recreation center filled with events and activities to help you connect with people and your passions.
