Mission
We are a registered 501c3 organization created to model, promote and provide inclusive opportunities for purposeful employment, meaningful relationships, creative expression, and community living for individuals of ALL abilities.
Our first target group is the 16-23 year old because we want to be their first and most memorable job experience thereby shaping their paradigm for inclusion.
Goals
We believe that an increase in inclusive activities for this demographic will lead to adults who are more intentional in voting, purchasing, hiring, creating public policy, and building community health in general.
It is our intention to start a grassroots movement that finds and celebrates the naturally unique abilities, talents, and interests of each person who walks through the doors of the Inkorporated Community.

How We Started
A Boy and a Dream Are Born
The idea for Inkorporated came in 2016 when a family was watching a little boy participate in a simple pastime that he loves - coloring. The Ry guy ushered his family into a new world of simplicity and complexity when he made his dramatic entrance into the in 2005. He taught them that coloring was for everyone, but lines are only for some. They had no idea the pleasures and pains that would come from raising a child with a diagnosis of T21 (Down Syndrome), but were honored to be chosen for and challenged by the task, though overwhelmed at times. Because of their experiences in this new world and the friends that they have made, they were compelled to establish Inkorporated, a place where all would be welcome to Work, Rest, and Create.
