Community Involvement

A group of people walking dogs stand in front of a statue in a park.

Our member volunteers visit Chicago's parks for walks, fetch, and treats with some very happy pups.

The Neighbors Program empowers participants to navigate and engage with their communities. These interactions break down stereotypes of people with disabilities as neighbors, friends, and valued community members. This skill-building enhances confidence, supports self-determination, and allows participants to take charge of their daily lives while fostering mutual understanding and empathy that create more inclusive, welcoming environments.

“It was unreal ... It showed what can happen when an individual feels safe and when an organization invests in the wellbeing of that individual and listens when someone says they need help.”
