Who we are
Got Your Back (GYB) is a community-driven program supporting adults with developmental disabilities, Autism, and/or a dual diagnosis. We provide a safe, inclusive space for individuals 18+ to build life, social, and job skills while connecting with their community.
GYB is a great asset to any community as it fills a gap left by the significant lack of support, resources and activities for people with different abilities who have graduated from high school and are adjusting to adult and communal life to continue to thrive.
Our goal is to empower independence, foster belonging, and ensure ongoing support—because at GYB, we’re here for the long haul.
OUR MISSION
Got Your Back's mission is to provide opportunities for people with different abilities to have success in all aspects of their lives in order to effectively integrate into their community
OUR VISION
GYB envisions offering programs that assist people to live in communities where they feel a sense of belonging, where everyone is treated equally, and where they can make decisions that will help them plan and build for the future.
WE VALUE
At GYB, we value community, choice, creating opportunity and showing respect for others and ourselves.
WHY GOT YOUR BACK?
Nearly 10 years ago, Nicole, my fiancée, passed away. Nicole had a daughter whom she would sacrifice anything for. Nicole was a program coordinator and loved to support others. In honor of Nicole and her daughter Renee, I created GYB and dedicated my degree in child and youth care to them. I'll keep up Nicole's love of supporting others and will always listen and advocate for the people I support.
