The Mission Project

Enabling adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live independently

The Mission Project enables adults with intellectual disabilities such as Down Syndrome and autism to live and work independently, with individualized supports. Our community lives in Mission, Kansas, and there are plans to research, publish and teach others how to create communities around our country. Fundraising directly provides the participants with work transportation, continuing education,

fitness and nutrition programs, and recreational activities. Our unique model has proven to be highly successful in enabling these capable adults to reach their highest human potential as leaders, as workers, as friends.
