Empowering Abilities, Unlocking Potential

At BEST, we are creating pathways for young individuals with disabilities to thrive, connect, and achieve independence. With your collaboration, we can open doors to meaningful opportunities and build a stronger, more connected community where everyone has the chance to succeed.

Meaning and Purpose for All

About BEST

What happens when a young adult wants to contribute—but no one gives them a chance?
For too many teens and young adults with disabilities, the future feels uncertain. Doors stay closed. Opportunities never come. And potential goes unseen.

That’s why BEST exists. We build the bridge between young adults and independence—through real-world skill-building, mentorship, and partnerships with employers who believe in potential, not limitations.
Because the future isn’t built on barriers. It’s built on opportunities.

Elevating Care Through Strategic Partnerships

Partner with us to create job opportunities with your company, provide supportive training, or sponsor programs that make an impact. Together, we can build a community where everyone has a chance to thrive.

Our talented team contracts services out to local business-to-business partners. Contracted services have included, but are not limited to, business support specialists, information and records specialists, simple maintenance, food preparation, operations and logistics specialists, and customer service. Our top priority is providing quality services to meet the needs of our partners. Reach out if you’re interested in partnering with us!
