Sertoma Center’s mission is to provide the programs and services to empower adults with intellectual disabilities to achieve their fullest potential. A donation helps provide much needed funds to cover funding gaps and everyday living experiences not covered by government funding. A donation will help to support scholarship programs for individuals in the community who receive no services; provide job and life skills training; fund art, dance and recreation therapy; help send individuals to camp; and ensure that people with intellectual disabilities have the tools they need to be contributing, valued members of the community.
