Testimonials
Stories from our community
"We're a person-directed organization — helping participants achieve a work life balance based upon personal interests and choices is our priority."
"At the end of the day, all outcomes are measured by whether or not we have improved a participant's quality of life."
"Summer Street benefits tremendously from an engaged and supportive community. People donate time, expertise, monetary gifts, and everything from cars to houses."
"We hire through Summer Street's employment services and couldn't be happier. The on-site training and ongoing support made onboarding seamless for our team."
"My brother has grown in confidence and independence since joining the program. The staff genuinely listen to what matters to him."
"We booked the hall for our annual fundraiser and the catering team exceeded every expectation. Great food and a wonderful cause in one package."

Our Approach
Governance
Community
We are driven by the desire for an equal playing field where everyone is treated with fairness and respect — including adults with intellectual disability. Our direction comes from the people we serve.
The Society and Foundation are volunteer boards that meet regularly to provide governance, oversight and financial stewardship for Summer Street Industries.
Businesses and organizations provide employment and volunteer opportunities. These community-based programs offer a sense of value, dignity and inclusion.
Programs that improve quality of life.
