Enabling adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live independently

The Mission Project enables adults with intellectual disabilities such as Down Syndrome and autism to live and work independently, with individualized supports. Our community lives in Mission, Kansas, and there are plans to research, publish and teach others how to create communities around our country. Fundraising directly provides the participants with work transportation, continuing education, fitness and nutrition programs, and recreational activities. Our unique model has proven to be highly successful in enabling these capable adults to reach their highest human potential as leaders, as workers, as friends.

We see firsthand how much having a job means to the adults we support at The Mission Project. 💙 It's about so much more than a paycheck. It's about building confidence, making connections, gaining independence and being part of a team.

This National Disability Employment Awareness Month, we're celebrating the employers who see what people with disabilities can bring to the workplace and give them the opportunity to shine!
