A world where everyone is a valued citizen
Who we are:
Neighborhood Bridges is a community of people with intellectual disabilities, their families and human rights workers. Our goal is to see local communities that are fully inclusive, where every citizen is valued. We believe this is best achieved when people make contributions based on their passions and interests, and that this creates communities that embrace equity and social justice.
We seek to achieve this lofty goal by pursuing community development opportunities, engaging in research with community partners and academics and by collaborating with the people who have hired us to build whole lives.
We aim to be useful allies to marginalized populations, to engage in advocacy around issues that affect people impacted by discrimination, and to be active with others in creating safe communities for everyone.
“There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about”
