Our Mission

Our mission is to educate to integrate adults with developmental disabilities by facilitating meaningful, productive, and integrated opportunities.

How often do you see an adult with a disability at a concert, in the workplace, or engaging in the community? We are working to build this future. Our number one goal is to promote and foster inclusivity of adults with disabilities throughout our community.

By empowering our Crew to express themselves through art and find their voice, we are providing important tools for them to identify with our community.

We also work with the local community and businesses to educate them on how to support our Crew.
