Working Better Together

Our Mission

To enhance the quality of life for individuals with developmental disabilities, their families and our community through training, education, employment services and advocacy.

Our Story

Founded in 1964 by parents seeking opportunities for their children with developmental disabilities, Bridges began as a place for learning, growth and connection. Today, we continue that mission, helping people build skills, gain independence and access inclusive employment through job training, community and business partnerships and ongoing support.

Meet the Leadership Team

At Bridges, our leadership team is made up of four dedicated individuals who each wear many hats to keep our mission moving forward. Their diverse skills and shared passion for service guide our organization with compassion, integrity and vision.
