Together,

We Grow

Stronger

A place for adults with disabilities to learn, connect, and grow.
Our Community Center provides educational and social day program for adults with autism, Down syndrome, intellectual disabilities, and other developmental disabilities. Through life skills, functional academics, technology, creative activities, and community experiences, we create a space where every individual can continue learning, build independence, and form meaningful friendships.
Creating meaningful opportunities for students to serve, lead, and build friendships.
EduBud’s volunteer projects connect high school and college students with individuals and families in the disability community through hands-on service, mentorship, and community events. Rather than simply volunteering for someone, our projects are designed around genuine relationships, shared experiences, and mutual growth.
Bringing EduBud’s mission to schools and communities across the country.
Our Student-Led Community Chapters allow students to build EduBud communities in their own schools and local areas. Chapters organize inclusive service projects, educational initiatives, social events, and disability-awareness programs while creating opportunities for students to develop leadership skills and build a community where everyone belongs.

Our Mission

We believe that through education, we can nurture individuality and celebrate potential, building a stronger, more inclusive community where every student is seen, heard, and valued.

We create opportunities for every learner to explore their interests, express themselves, and grow in ways that reflect who they are.
We recognize each person’s strengths, interests, and goals, and create meaningful opportunities for them to develop their abilities and contribute to their community.
We bring students, families, volunteers, and community members together to create a more inclusive environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
