Project Independence

Our Mission

Project Independence’s mission is to promote civil rights for people with developmental disabilities through services which expand independence and choice. The goal is to help our clients live and work as independently as possible in the community with the proper supports.

Having a job, friends and a home of your own are all intrinsic to a healthy, happy life.

We believe:

People with disabilities have a right to participate fully in the community.

The integration of people with disabilities in the normal flow of community life will serve to enlighten and strengthen the community's understanding of the great value and contribution added by their presence.

Services are focused on the individual, in context with career and life goals, and presented in a dignified and respectful manner.

That by listening to the hopes and dreams of people we serve, we can support people to realize those dreams.

Thorough and continuous evaluation will provide organizational direction.

Well trained and compensated staff are integral to quality services.
