Elevated Communities was created with a heartfelt mission: to stand beside individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and brain injuries, and their families, as they build lives filled with confidence, independence, and joy. 

This is how we support:

  • Resource Navigation: We help individuals and families find and access the support and services they need.

  • Advocacy & Guidance: We stand up for people’s needs and make sure their voices are heard.

  • Job Skills & Mentorship: Our Gently Used Clothing Boutique and Cat Café offer hands-on training, mentorship, and real work experience in a supportive space.

  • Community Connection: Our programs bring people together, creating joy, calm, and belonging.

  • Personal Growth & Independence: We help people build confidence, learn new skills, and discover their strengths.

In our community, so many people with IDD and brain injuries simply need a hand to find their place and their purpose. With your support, we can help them build confidence, independence, and a true sense of belonging....one person and one program at a time.
