Message from the Executive Director

Welcome to Countryside Association for People with Disabilities...an organization committed to improving the lives of people with disabilities and their families.

Whether you're getting to know us for the first time and are curious about our services or you already know us well and are returning for additional information please take this opportunity to review our updated website. New content and additional functionality gives visitors significantly more information about our quality services, our future goals and current accomplishments, and ways to support our mission. We invite you to also review the career opportunities that are available at Countryside—a place for caring people who truly enjoy assisting others become successful.

At Countryside Association we believe that people with disabilities should have an opportunity to work just like everyone else and this belief has guided our growth since 1954. Through a unique combination of support services including sheltered work, supported employment, direct job placement and on-the-job training in our own businesses, we offer people opportunities to develop the skills and confidence necessary to not only work but to also develop those meaningful social relationships that hopefully enrich all our lives. In addition, our Client and Family Support and In-Home Respite programs offer important services to those who have family members with disabilities living at home or who reside independently.

Countryside Association is supported through fees and contributions from various governmental agencies, public and private grants, special event fundraising and donations from people who support our mission. We are always looking for others to join us in our efforts and invite you to consider the many ways you can become involved.

Want to know more? We invite you to contact us to discuss ways that you, your company or your ideas can help people with disabilities and their families.

Sincerely,

Wayne A. Kulick
