We provide employment services, resources for independent living, vision services, as well as advocacy and education—all free of charge for our consumers.

  • Help facilitate safe and independent housing situations for people with disabilities and aging populations 

  • Increase employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities 

  • Increase awareness about disabilities among employers and in the community at large 

  • Position Beyond Barriers as a local resource for information about disability and aging.

What makes Beyond Barriers different?

We serve people with ALL types of disabilities, free of charge, regardless of their disability “status.” Our approach is “zero entry,” meaning one less barrier between you and the independence you deserve.

Give the Gift of Independence

At Beyond Barriers, we’re proud to offer services FREE of charge to those with disabilities, meaning one less obstacle for those seeking independence. While we do get some state funding, we have more consumers than state funding is able to cover, meaning our staff is stretched thin trying to meet needs. Every dollar counts.

With your donation, people with disabilities can learn the skills and access the resources they need to work, play and live as independently as possible—and that benefits our entire community.

Would you consider a donation of $25 in honor of our 25th anniversary? We sincerely appreciate any dollar amount you’re able to give, and you can rest assured knowing that we’re putting your investment to good use empowering those with disabilities to live with the freedom they want and deserve.  



"(Beyond Barriers) has taught me about citizenship and responsibility. They’ve taught me a lot of things like working hard, doing a good job, doing your best, giving everything you’ve got."
