How We Impact the Community
In our 26th year, Moving Forward Towards Independence is committed to helping each individual achieve their highest potential by providing a safe environment that balances challenges with support. We foster growth in social, vocational, and independent living skills, often offering our residents their first experience of true friendship and a supportive community.
This summer, we have partnered with Napa Parks & Recreation to offer a series of three events designed for our neurodivergent community and their support teams. These events aim to provide fun opportunities and help participants make new friends.
In addition, we engage our residents in various community volunteer projects, including work at the library, local food bank, animal shelters, reading to children at the local farmers market, and community clean-ups. We also participate in community food drives and card-making projects. These activities instill a sense of civic responsibility and offer our residents meaningful ways to give back to their community.
Testimonial
Five years ago, we joined Moving Forward Towards Independence and it has been successful and rewarding for our family! Our son has grown tremendously, works normally, has good friends, and enjoys life. He has an excellent Case Manager who guides him wonderfully. I highly recommend this program!
