Why We Exist
Every day, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities face barriers that keep them from making friends, joining community activities, and gaining independence. Too often, these challenges lead to isolation and missed opportunities.
At The ZEN Initiative, we believe in possibility, not limitation. Through hands-on programs, mentorship, and community connections, we create pathways for belonging, confidence, and joy.
