Advocacy
Our lives begin to end when we become silent
about the things that matter.
Serving individuals with disabilities and barriers to employment has been the driving force behind our mission for the past 50 years and we strive to continue working towards our goals, offering a safe environment, care, and support.
We want to share our resources and knowledge with you; our participants, clients, caregivers, family, and all those interested in supporting the value of employment for those who have challenges. As times change so do the rules, laws, and resources. Moving forward we aim to keep this community informed about the changing world that directly affects our family.
