RISE & SHINE
COMMUNITY SUPPORTS

Picnic in nature

OUR MISSION

We believe that the things that make life rich and meaningful belong to everyone.

We offer community-based group outings for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in Boulder & Weld Counties. The activities we do together: hiking, fishing, cooking, making art, going out on a Friday night, exploring a local festival, are the same things every adult enjoys. Our goal is simply to make sure everyone has access to them, with the right support alongside.

Through recreational and community-based settings, we focus on what matters most: building real friendships, developing everyday skills, finding a sense of belonging, and creating something to look forward to each week. We believe that when people are connected to their communities and to each other, life gets fuller, for everyone involved.

 

We are actively working toward Program Approved Service Agency (PASA) status with Colorado Medicaid, which will allow us to expand access to families on HCBS waivers. Until then, we are committed to keeping our services as accessible as possible through private pay, sliding scale options, and coordination with available grant funding.

"Enriching our lives, together."
