Our mission
210 Collective empowers adults with intellectual disabilities through meaningful work and inclusive community, grounded in the belief that every person is made in the image of God and deserves to be valued and embraced.
210 Collective provides meaningful vocational work for individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities. Through a no-fail work program, we educate, train, and support our Citizens in an environment where everyone can succeed.
What we do
We select adaptable, marketable enterprises that let Citizens explore their creativity, learn new techniques, and experience the dignity of completing meaningful work. Supervisors tailor each job to fit individual strengths, ensuring every Citizen can thrive.
Citizens
At 210 Collective, we refer to the individuals in our program as Citizens because it affirms their rightful place in the community—complete with belonging, rights, and the capacity to contribute. This term emphasizes dignity, equality, and inclusion, reminding us that every person, regardless of ability, is a valued member with something meaningful to share.
Our Citizens often have diagnoses such as autism, brain injury, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, epilepsy, and other genetic differences. Yet each one possesses unique gifts and abilities. By giving them the platform to develop and showcase these talents, we ensure they experience the pride and purpose of being fully integrated members of the community.
why sunflowers
Sunflowers hold their seeds at the center of the flower - each one packed with potential. Those seeds can lie dormant for years. They aren’t broken. They’re simply waiting. Waiting for the right environment: a little warmth, a little light, water, and time.
And then that little seed pushes through the earth and grows tall and strong. And then, in its time, it blooms, just as it was designed to do.
The citizens of 210 are like those seeds. Full of value. Full of potential. But often overlooked by a world that hasn’t given them the opportunity to grow.
When they’re planted in a community that believes in them, when they’re surrounded by purpose, belonging, and meaningful work, they grow tall and blossom just like they were designed to do.
