About Building Essential Skills Together
OurMission
To transform lives by equipping individuals with disabilities with the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to live independently and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
OurVision
A future where every individual, regardless of ability, has the tools to unlock their full potential and lead a life filled with purpose and the independence they desire.
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!
