IMPACTING LIVES

The mission of Inclusion Connections is to strengthen the lives of individuals with disabilities by creating inclusive opportunities for community involvement, access to meaningful employment, and better options for supported living.

Inclusion Connections 501c3 nonprofit was born out of a need for services for individuals with developmental disabilities. While there is certainly a need for educational and social opportunities for school-aged children, the greatest need presents itself when kids graduate high school. Parents often say their kids with disabilities graduated from high school to the couch! On graduation day, the students lose access to learning, exercise, friends and community. Most graduate without a job and a critical lack of supported housing forces students to remain at home with parents indefinitely.

Inclusion Connections is addressing all these issues head on. Our programs are innovative and designed for special needs. From Education to Employment (PawsAbilities) to BelongKC Supportive Living initiative, we are making things happen in our Kansas City community!
