Bethel Ridge

The mission of Bethel Ridge is to provide comprehensive community-based support for persons with developmental disabilities.

Description:
Quality programs are provided to enable individuals to reach their highest level of achievement and independence. These programs ensure that each individual becomes a contributing member of his or her community. To facilitate attainment of this goal, community housing, job training, job placement services and social/recreational experiences are provided to support and enrich the lives of adults. Bethel Ridge believes in the potential of all people. We value choice, dignity, and mutual respect.

History:
Bethel Ridge was formed in 1991 by a concerned group of parents looking to improve the lives of developmentally disabled young adults. We opened our first group home in 2000 and have been providing Supported Employment opportunities since 1998. We also provide a Literacy program with training in computers and other life skills.
