Mission, Vision, Work, Values and Goals
Our Mission
The mission of Accessibility Bridge Corporation, a 501 (c) 3 organization, is to promote inclusion and create access for children and adults with disabilities in all areas of their communities.
We are a volunteer-run organization that provides wraparound supports to people with disabilities who are seeking higher levels of independence and inclusion in the areas of education, independent living, employment, athletics, and social skills.
We do this by partnering with and supporting communities and organizations to help them build their knowledge and capacity to support people with disabilities by developing programming, implementation plans, data collection and monitoring systems that will improve desirable outcomes in inclusive settings.
Our Vision
Accessibility Bridge Corporation will be recognized as the leading active ally facilitating positive change, inclusion practices and the enthusiasm needed to support those who are disabled in their independence-driven endeavors with respect to employment, housing, education, athletics, social systems, and healthcare.
OUR WORK
Accessibility Bridge aims to empower people with disabilities by providing resources to individuals with disabilities and their families by partnering with and supporting inclusive enterprises throughout the U.S. who support, employ, train, or provide information & resources to people with disabilities and who share our mission of inclusion and accessibility.
We believe in helping people with disabilities enhance their skills and create opportunities that lead to increased independence, stability and growth. We focus on supplemental resources (when needed) and advocacy when resources or opportunities are either inadequate or unreasonable. We are guided in this work by the personal experiences of the leaders, staff and volunteers of Accessibility Bridge and the connections we have throughout the disability community.
We are strengthened through partnerships with other providers, agencies, foundations, businesses, individuals, educational programs/institutions, corporations and nonprofits. We collaborate with these resources, and other community assets, to offer programs and provide resources that are effective and fiscally sound.
Accessibility Bridge has signature initiatives housing smaller programs that focus on community, athletics, educational and workplace inclusion on a national level: Crossing Bridges, Mentoring program, Brick 44 Athletic Initiative, Mental Wellness Initiative, Healthy Outcomes and Educational Equity. We have community-based programs such as our Winter’s Closet and Food Pantry.
What makes Accessibility Bridge unique is that our model of service delivery is powered by the variety of inclusive resources that we've strategically pieced together. The passion behind the mission and the lifetime-vested interest that the founder has with the inclusion movement is evident by the standards of excellence and best practices, the environment in which our staff and volunteers can grow, contribute their best efforts and value their investment in our mission that will ensure that no person with a disability is left behind.
