Who We Are
What happens after high school? For students without disabilities, their futures are often filled with exciting college and work opportunities. But students with disabilities are often left behind and alone. We believe every young person deserves a bright future, one filled with opportunities to learn, work and belong. This is why we created Empowerment Lab.
Through this three-month program, students explore and identify their talents, interests, environmental work preferences and passions, cumulating in the creation of a digital portfolio highlighting the ability in their disability. More dynamic than a traditional paper resume, Integrate for Good’s digital portfolios make ability come alive through photography and videography using our signature strengths-based approach.
Students with disabilities watch their brothers and sisters, neighbors and friends go off to college, rarely having the opportunity to benefit from campus life themselves. While there are exciting, new opportunities for some students with disabilities to attend college, people with more significant disabilities are still left out. Integrate for Good partners with local colleges and universities to make a meaningful place for people of all abilities to engage on campus through inclusive volunteerism and leadership opportunities.
After looking for an opportunity like the Leadership Incubator to suggest to the students and families we empower, we could not find anything like it. After realizing a void in service, we decided to create this innovative and empowering initiative, creating a path to leadership for young people of all abilities. Integrate for Good's Leadership Incubator is an innovative solution designed to build a culture of inclusion and equity.
Our community members with disabilities benefit by having access to leadership development and opportunities to lead corporate and community engagement events revolving around our inclusive volunteer projects. The curriculum is universally designed to acknowledge diverse learning styles. Instruction is engaging and inclusive, incorporating guest speakers, multi-media presentations and experiential learning.
Did you know research shows that employees believe volunteerism boosts workplace morale better than a company-sponsored happy hour? In an economy with significant staff shortages, engaging and retaining good workers is essential. Our diverse Integrate for Good leaders bring innovative team-building volunteer activities right to your office! Make your company's values come alive with our exciting and meaningful projects. Build your team while making a difference in the local community where you do business.
