RISE & SHINE
COMMUNITY SUPPORTS

Picnic in nature

ABOUT US

We believe the things that make life rich and meaningful belong to everyone.
 

Rise & Shine offers community access and support for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and Autism/ASD across Boulder and Weld Counties.

 

The activities we do together out in the community: hiking, fishing, cooking, making art, going out on a Friday night, exploring a local festival, are the same things so many adults enjoy. Our goal is simply to make sure everyone has access to them, with the right support alongside.
 

Through recreational and community-based settings, we focus on building real and lasting friendships, developing everyday skills, finding a true sense of belonging, and creating something genuinely worth looking forward to each week. When people are connected to their communities and to each other, life gets better, for everyone.
 

We are actively working toward Program Approved Service Agency (PASA) status with Colorado Medicaid, which will allow us to expand access to families on HCBS waivers. Until then, we are committed to keeping our services accessible through private pay, sliding scale options, and coordination with available grant funding.
