Our Goals
We center our organization around several goals for achieving success. Once an individual has been accepted into the program, we will then focus on developing their weaknesses and strengths to assist them in selecting a job or career they would like to pursue. We encourage growth through the use of continuous training focused on areas of weakness to help each individual overcome them. We understand that individuals are different and a community of people will have diverse needs. This is why we work to empower the population by telling them they are people first, disabled second, and very special to BPL.
Every citizen is entitled to dignity, respect, and the opportunity for success. Our organization will assure them success by guiding them through a journey of achievement. We will follow up on their schedule, schedule and attend support team meeting, and support them along the way to ensure they are accomplishing everything they set out to do, while enjoying their time at work.
We believe all individuals can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.
