What We Do:
- Person-centered life-skills coaching We walk alongside individuals with disabilities with a straightforward, person-centered approach to support them in living full, independent lives.
- Community-based supported housing We address one of the most important needs of people with disabilities: affordable, safe, and inclusive housing in their community, near loved ones, and friends with access to transportation, shopping, services, and entertainment.
- Community-building activities We combat social isolation by engaging participants with self-selected activities in the community. We encourage people with different gifts and talents to join together, reach out for mutual support, form communities, and create the conditions for all to thrive.
- School and agency consulting services We provide a comprehensive, digital life-skills curriculum based on our 20 years of experience in life-skills coaching.
