About Us

Labels. Many individuals with disabilities have lived their whole life with a label. Their abilities have been overshadowed by their disability, and they’ve faced struggles to create independence, build healthy relationships, and find their voice. We understand this, and at Advance, we’re committed to changing that.

From our day services to our employment opportunities, Advance is a place where our clients can learn, grow, explore, and thrive. We’ve created room for them to enjoy meaningful employment, create relationships, and find purpose – the things we all want in our lives. The result? We’re helping individuals build their confidence, live with more independence, and feel heard and seen. What makes Advance unique is the variety of opportunities we provide and the flexibility we bring to our clients, meeting them where they’re at every day.
