About

Mission

Our mission is to inspire and empower people to thrive with customized support that meets the unique needs of each person, family, and community, one step at a time.

RiseUP Values

Person-centered

We foster a culture of empowerment where every person is seen, heard, and valued. We honor the diversity of our team and those we serve by creating individualized, person-centered services. We are committed to a team-focused decision-making process that ensures all relevant voices are heard and considered, enabling us to understand and provide services to people of all abilities.

Committed Service

We believe in serving with dignity and respect. Our work focuses on people over things and fostering a sense of home and belonging. With courage and love as our foundation, we strive to treat everyone—team members and those we serve—with unwavering respect and advocacy.

Adaptability

We embrace change with flexibility and a forward-thinking mindset, allowing us to thrive in the face of challenges. By tailoring our services to meet diverse needs, we turn adversity into opportunity, continually growing stronger and ensuring lasting impact.

Community Building

We believe in the power of supportive communities that allow everyone to thrive. We encourage the individuals we serve to maximize their opportunities to engage fully in the broader communities they live in.

RiseUP serves children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and neurodiversity, while recognizing their dignity, affirming their ability to contribute, and helping them become as productive and self-reliant as possible.

Our services include homes for children and adults, a school for grades K-12, supported living apartments, a community participation program, and in-home support for families. In every setting, RiseUP seeks to help each participant develop the skills needed for success at home, on the job, and in society.
