Tierra del Sol serves individuals with disabilities, empowering them to establish meaningful and productive lives and contribute to the economic, cultural, and civic vitality of their communities. We do this through three main areas of service: Living Independently - Everyone we serve receives extensive training in a nurturing environment where they express their hopes and dreams. Our programs offer a broad range of individually tailored campus and community based learning opportunities in adult living and community social survival skills. Education, Community Services and Employment - Men and women with disabilities are meeting their personal objectives for productive citizenship by succeeding as valued community volunteers. This is the best possible career preparation one can find. What's more, others are succeeding in local colleges, enhancing their vocational capacities and ultimately fulfilling their dreams to be gainfully employed in our community. Even in these challenging economic times, Tierra continues to develop jobs and help our clients succeed as productive employees for dozens of local employers. Creative Artistic Expression - The human potential for creativity is not limited by developmental disability. In Tierra's fine art studios and galleries, on our performances stages, and from the hearts and minds of the individuals served, our community is learning that everyone has a gift.
