InJOY exists to inspire people of all abilities to learn from one another and become lifelong advocates for each other.
InJOY is a person-centered and partial inclusion day program for adults with developmental disabilities.
Our Values
Our Members
This program is all about its members. They are some of the most incredible people you will ever meet. The members will teach you about love, inspire you to take risks, and challenge you to greatness.
Our Coaches
The Coaches work directly with three members on a daily basis to innovatively teach life skills and foster positive relationships. Members and Coaches take life to another level as they work together to make dreams a reality.
Our Philosophy
Much joy in life is gained through the experience of taking risks and overcoming obstacles. InJOY is an environment that unlocks potential. Allow us to teach you how to accept your greatness.
Our Purpose
The Purpose of InJOY is to use the function of an adult day program to carry out our mission to strive for the personal fulfillment of our members but also to develop, foster, and create the environment that enables our staff to unlock their potential and each individual that walks through our doors. On any given day, you see members and staff engaging in a supportive community that empowers and allows for personal development to occur through powerful relationships and interactions. This may in some ways take form in the act of participating in the preferred activity or event perpetuated by our staff. You may also see members and staff in the middle of a process of steps where they walk side-by-side to carry out a common goal – ultimately doing some aspect of life together in the most normative way possible. While this occurs in the four walls of both facilities, our greatest desire is to instill this type of understanding, acceptance, and support for our members outside of the “InJOY utopia” and eventually mainstreaming into all aspects of our society and culture. Until then, InJOY continues to exist with the understanding, hope and belief that one day this will be a method of the past and these types of things can happen everywhere as a “normal” part of life.
