“We believe in individuals of all abilities coming together to engage, connect, and contribute.
welcome home, you belong here!”
OUR STORY
At Integrate for Good, we believe in the power of inclusion, contribution, and community. Our journey began with a vision to create meaningful opportunities for people of all abilities to share their talents and actively participate in the world around them.
Our story begins in 2017 when Dr. Bev Weinberg, an Occupational Therapist and passionate advocate for disability inclusion founded Integrate for Good as an innovative response to a critical gap in opportunities for people with disabilities. Too often, young adults with autism and other disabilities face barriers to employment, social connection, and full participation in their communities. We knew there had to be a better way.
Our approach is simple yet profound:
we focus on ability rather than disability.
Our programs are rooted in clinical doctoral research conducted at Temple University, and use targeted, proven strategies to produce successful outcomes. By fostering partnerships between businesses, nonprofit organizations, universities and schools, we create inclusive pathways for leadership, service, and employment. We empower individuals to showcase their strengths, develop essential skills, and build lasting connections that benefit both them and their communities.
At the heart of our work is our “why”:
Everyone deserves to feel valued, included, and empowered to contribute. We believe that when people of all abilities come together, we build stronger, more compassionate communities where everyone can thrive.
Today, Integrate for Good continues to expand our reach, offering innovative programs that promote volunteerism, leadership, and workforce development. We are committed to breaking down barriers, challenging assumptions, and creating a world where everyone belongs.
Integrate for Good challenges all of us to look through a different lens, embracing a strength-based perspective which accepts disability as a natural part of the human experience, not as something special and stigmatizing.
We see disability as a valued kind of diversity, and we believe that our communities are able to thrive best when the talents and contributions of all people can be realized and captured.
We invite you to write the next chapter of the Integrate story with us. Join us in our mission to build a future that values ability, celebrates diversity, and fosters true inclusion. Together, we’ll build a community we can all be proud to call home.
Our Mission & Vision
At Integrate for Good, our team’s mission is to create opportunities for people of all abilities to contribute their talents through inclusive volunteerism, community leadership, and meaningful employment. We empower transition-age youth and adults with disabilities, along with the families and agencies that support them, to embrace a strength-based perspective.
We envision a world where differences are celebrated, and individuals with disabilities are engaged for their strengths—not out of charity but as valued contributors. By promoting connections, building social capital, and promoting civic engagement, we replace loneliness and social isolation with meaningful opportunities for growth and belonging.
