A work, social‑support, and residential community for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
BrightStone's mission is to provide a comprehensive work, social support, and residential community for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities — expanding their potential and helping them develop mentally, physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.
Our mission
We focus on each student's unique abilities and talents, offering vocational training, art education, life and social skills development, and more than ten elective programs so every adult we serve has room to choose their own path.
Hands‑on job training and community partnerships that build real workplace skills and confidence.
Daily programming in art, communication, and independence, built around each student's interests.
A long‑term home and support network for adults with IDD, alongside the families who love them.
I Believe in BrightStone
Every gift supports our students directly, closing the gap between what families pay and the true cost of BrightStone's life‑changing programs.
Whether you're a family exploring programs, a volunteer, or a partner who wants to help — we'd love to hear from you.
