Overview

Mission

Creating meaningful opportunities and community engagement for associates with diverse abilities.

What it reported doing in 2025

Youth services - offered at both our neenah and oshkosh locations, our youth services program is dedicated to supporting high school students, ages 14 and up, with physical or cognitive disabilities. We provide a safe, engaging, and inclusive environment where young people can develop essential life skills, connect with peers, and explore their potential. Programs we offer: after-school club: a safe and welcoming space for teens to hang out after school every tuesday and wednesday. This student-led program fosters connection and creativity while offering an inclusive environment for socializing. Off-school day activities: on professional development days and school holidays, we offer guided activities and opportunities to explore the community. Saturday program: available on the first and third saturdays of the month, these sessions mirror our off-school day offerings with a focus on fun and skill-building. Summer program: running monday through friday, our summer program combines exciting activities with physical and mental wellness, career exploration, and pre-vocational training. Teens also engage in volunteering opportunities and enjoy a variety of fun experiences throughout the summer.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
