Mission Statement

Enriching the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities by maximizing their opportunities for personal success, fun & friendship, employment, and community involvement.

Description

CEL is a non-profit organization that provides valuable programs and services for teens, adults and seniors with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). CEL provides social programs 7-days a week that foster friendships, paid employment that matches their skills and interests, REACH and Catalyst Adult Day Programs, and mental health resources.

At CEL, we firmly believe in fostering an environment where every individual not only has access to but is actively encouraged to participate in continual learning, skill-building, and socialization.
