About ACT
What is ACT?
A work training program? Social-service provider? Non-profit organization?
ACT is all of these, but much more. ACT is a passion for success — the success of individuals with disabilities.
Throughout our history, many milestones have been reached. The most dramatic progress is reflected every day by our participants. ACT clients celebrate quiet personal victories—living in the community, working, making life-long friends. Through all of its locations and services, ACT shares in these victories.
Our goal is to help more individuals with disabilities to experience all life has to offer. ACT will continue to create new services, programs, buildings and plans.
What separates ACT from many similar organizations is the powerful emphasis on work. If work is possible, ACT makes it happen.
Why is work so important? Work is powerful. It proves everyone is important. Needed. Wanted. At ACT, work is not an occupation, it’s life. Work brings life meaning and purpose no matter what limitations may exist. Everyone contributes and everyone succeeds.
The rewards are obvious. At every ACT work station, or job in the community, you see smiles, bright eyes and the passion to excel. By breaking down each task into minute steps, ACT can match an individual’s abilities with the task at hand.
Step by step, barriers to the American Dream disappear. Every person — employed with or through ACT — tastes individual freedom like never before.
