To prevent isolation and abuse

Community programs ensure a healthy, safe environment for people who are 7x more vulnerable to abuse and neglect.

To promote kindness and inclusion

Love has no labels. Everyone, regardless of ability gets to contribute to society and participate meaningfully in their community. Supportive social circles help overcome barriers and defeat preconceptions.

To celebrate artistic expression

Hidden talents are revealed when people explore, create, perform and exhibit. Artists share their vision with the outside world through painting, drawing, ceramics, sewing, jewelry making, music, theatre, digital animation and more.
