Description

On-The-Move is a nonprofit organization supporting adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in accessing community through healthful, meaningful, and environmentally responsible activities.

Community Inclusion Program Participants develop independent living, social, and community navigation skills while engaging in the community. On-The-Move provides support within small group settings designed to achieve personal discovery and growth, and community integration and engagement. Participant to staff ratios never exceed 3 to 1. Activities include things like hikes in city parks, free concerts, CrossFit boxing, and volunteer work at community organizations such as Oregon Food Bank. Monday–Friday,9:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m.–3 p.m.

Personal Enrichment Short-term, one-on-one appointments are available for participants to complement their involvement in the small-group community inclusion program. Participants often use these 2.5 hour-long appointments to identify strengths and needs they may not be ready to explore among peers. On-The-Move’s grant-funded Community Engagement program works to educate and prepare community partners to offer integrated activities for people with and without disabilities.
