Learn more about our mission, values, and our team members!
Building Essential Skills Together (BEST) is on mission to bring meaning, purpose, and independence to all. The path to finding meaning, purpose, and independence begins early focusing on essential skills that will be needed later in life to thrive at school, work, home,and in the community. At BEST, we provide meaningful learning experiences to youth focused on prevocational skills as well as supported employment opportunities to teens and adults of all abilities.
Communication, social, receptive language, problem solving, time management, organizational, and self-advocacy skills among other essential skills are developed within each BEST journey.
These skills are shaped through natural environment teaching by certified therapists for youth and through supported employment opportunities in the community for teens and adults. BEST has its own food truck, and also partners with many community businesses, both large and small. We tailor the experiences at BEST around our team members’ interests and strengths.
We appreciate our community partners and the gracious donations that help youth and adults of all abilities find their BEST future!
