Some moments in life change everything.

For many families supporting a loved one with intellectual and developmental disabilities, the end of school services can feel like stepping into the unknown. After years of teachers, therapists, bus drivers, administrators, and daily routines, a new chapter begins.

At Laura's Village, we understand that transition. We live it, too.

That's why our mission remains so important: creating meaningful opportunities, fostering community, and supporting adults with I/DD and their families beyond the school years.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for volunteers, board members, grant writers, event planners, and community champions who want to help make a difference. We would love to have you join us!

Together, we can ensure that no family has to navigate this journey alone.
