Citizenship is at the heart of what we do
At Skills, we believe our community should be a place where every individual is a valued citizen deserving of respect, dignity and rights.
Every day, we work to help people with disabilities thrive in five pillars of everyday life – in doing so, we help them create meaningful lives and explore opportunities for learning, growth and inclusion. This means enjoying the same sense of belonging that we all enjoy.
