OUR MISSION

DONATE

Empowering Individuals

At Alpha, we believe that everyone has a valuable contribution to make.

We empower individuals with intellectual and similar developmental disabilities to make their mark on the world.

Our programs bring ability to the fore and highlight potential as we support families, create opportunities, and foster belonging.


Supporting Families

Creating Opportunities

Creating Opportunities

Learning that your child has an intellectual disability can be intimidating. At Alpha we give you confidence that your child will know success. We partner with you to navigate many freely available services and supports.


Creating Opportunities

Creating Opportunities

Creating Opportunities

The individuals Alpha serves make important contributions each day through service projects and community participation. We then take it one step further, building partnerships that lead to the creation of even more opportunities.


Fostering Belonging

Creating Opportunities

Fostering Belonging

Belonging is more than being included, it is the recognition that your contribution matters. We support our participants as they use their talents, interests, and passions to effect change in the specific subcultures and the community at large.
