Purpose

Doesn’t everyone deserve the same chances in life? Don’t we all want to fit in with our peers, build relationships, and be part of an inclusive society?

The answer is YES! Despite many efforts, there is still a need for education, training, and additional services to fill existing gaps for people with low vision. Here at STRIVE4You, we aim to fill these gaps through professional opportunities, disability awareness training, mentoring and adaptive physical and recreational activities.

Mission

Empower all individuals through training and recreation while educating professionals to serve their clients better. Through our services and peer-to-peer programs, we strive each and every day to achieve an inclusive and more productive society for all. We reach this goal through our core principles. 

Core Principles

Strength – Each person fundamentally deserves to have encouragement and support to enable personal growth. Training-knowledge fuels empowerment. Recreation-an active body equals a healthy mind, body, and spirit. Inspiration-influence is only achieved through action. Vitality-we all must strive every day to live a purposeful life. Empowerment-only with quality, education, steady nature, and access to resources can we expect a society that incorporates everyone
