Building a Culture of True Belonging for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Fostering Belonging in the Catholic Diocese of Arlington
.png)
Through our grant-making program and professional development opportunities, we provide the support needed to educators and administrators in the Diocese of Arlington so that they can serve students with intellectual and developmental disabilities successfully.
We advocate for and facilitate meaningful employment opportunities for young adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities within our local parishes, schools, businesses, and the Chancery. We also provide training and support for employers who wish to offer employment to individuals with disabilities.
Because inclusion is more than just support programs and financial grants, we also hold webinars and social events to educate the wider community and foster a sense of belonging by truly embracing that each one of us is special in God's eyes and our differences are what bring value to our lives.

True belonging means being seen, known, and valued.
