Our Mission

We are a community that exists to respond to the reduced community engagement, isolation, and lack of vocational opportunities and training that so many adolescents and young adults with disabilities experience.

Our mission is to build a supportive community of belonging that empowers individuals with disabilities through meaningful social engagement and work opportunities, aiming to provide purpose and foster authentic connections.

The RISE Community will provide social engagement opportunities and offer training to help individuals create high-quality handmade products. This initiative will not only teach valuable skills in a supportive environment, but will also enhance their ability to connect meaningfully with the community.

Our Vision

To create a world where everyone can RISE

Our Core Values

Radically Inclusive

It is not just about being IN the community, but being a PART of the community by creating authentic connections. It’s more than just acceptance — it’s empowerment.

Supportive

Belonging is the essence of community. We ALL need each other and different types of support in order to thrive.

Endeavors

By creating meaningful, dignified work and opportunities, individuals can find purpose and have pride in their contributions to their community.
