The mission of Inspiration Village (hereafter referred to as IV) is to provide a loving, nurturing home for mentally handicapped adolescents and adults creating a family environment, in a ranch-style atmosphere. I.V. also plans to provide life-skills and vocational training to our residents and individuals living in the area. Respite services will also be offered to families so they may be given the opportunity to "take a break", knowing their child or loved-one is in a safe, supportive environment. I.V. will strive to promote individual growth and the achievement of maximum independence through the inclusion of each individual in daily living activities.
