A glimpse into the different programs at ITG ➡️

This is what GRACE looks like on Tuesdays💃🕺And on Wednesday we have bible study, cooking classes on Thursdays, and different art/craft lessons everyday!

Bridges is our transitional program where participants learn soft skills and go to internships prepared from learning specific abilities for interviews and the skills they need to thrive in their internships!

In Limitless, participants start and maintain their own small businesses where they make and sell products to customers in our community!

This is a picture of Trevor, one of our New Option participants at his job. This program is where people hone in their job specific skills at their job in the community and at ITG!

What started as a small day program has grown into a bigger day program, transitional program, and employment/entrepreneurial programs all by the grace of God. Our next steps are to grow in a place where we can build deeper roots in our community and provide our service to even more individuals.

Poppy's dream is to get a job and start his own business. But, Poppy is one of the hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities in our community alone who have this dream. With the help of past donors we went from serving just three participants when we starting to now over 60 individuals. Today, you can be a part of this change.

Help us build deeper roots in our community, and ultimately help more individuals realize they can do anything they set their mind to.
