About Us
Providing care and support to adults with disabilities since 1986, TrueNorth is a place where individuals can flourish and grow.
Valuing abilities. Nurturing potential.
Our Mission
For over 40 years, our beliefs have remained the same: people with disabilities should be given every opportunity to be contributing and productive members of the community.
Guided by Jesus’ example of love and compassion, TrueNorth supports individuals who experience intellectual and developmental disabilities so that all – employees and people served – are treated with dignity and respect, feel a sense of belonging, see their abilities valued, and experience personal growth.
Guiding Principles
Independence
We encourage the living skills necessary to achieve success in daily life by consistently modeling the personal traits of responsibility, honesty, and integrity. We believe it is our role to foster a sense of self-worth and self-confidence so that all may live and work in the community as independently as possible.
Interdependence
We promote safe, loving family environments where individual personalities and gifts are appreciated, where needs are accepted and met with compassion, and where friendships are cherished.
Personal Fulfillment
We believe that all people are capable of personal growth throughout their lives. To that end, all are encouraged to contribute to their communities, nurture their dreams, and live to their fullest potential.
