We’re on a mission to enrich the lives
of adults with intellectual and development disabilities.

Community

Recreation

Inclusion

Welcoming a wide range of needs

Respite

Supporting families and caregivers

BUILDING COMMUNITY

Our programs for adults with IDD are built around peer community â€“ an essential element often missing for the adult IDD population. Members typically attend program with the same group of peers each week to encourage long-lasting friendship and connection.

FUN FOR ALL

Program members enjoy a wide variety of recreational activities, field trips, and interest-based classes. Program calendars are crafted to provide rich and varied experiences fitted to the needs of each member.

A PLACE WHERE EVERYONE BELONGS
