Building a Culture of Belonging

Through outreach programs, webinars, events, and conferences we support parents, educators, and administrators whose lives are transformed daily living and working with children with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our communities.
We advocate for, and facilitate, meaningful employment opportunities for young adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities within our local parishes, schools and the Chancery. We also provide training and support for employers who wish to offer them potential genuine employment.
Because inclusion is more than just support programs and financial grants, we also hold social events to foster a sense of belonging and truly embrace that each one of us is special in God's eyes and our differences are what brings value to our lives.
True belonging means being seen, known, and valued.

At Porto Charities, we are dedicated to building a culture of belonging of people with disabilities in the Catholic Diocese of Arlington, Virginia, and we hope to inspire other Dioceses around our nation along the way.
Through our programs, grants and community events we make a positive impact in the lives of many every day, as they receive an inclusive Catholic education and meaningful employment, and are welcome in a community that fully embraces them.
Your donation can help us continue our mission. Together, we can create a brighter future for all.
