No recounting of Skills history would be complete without mentioning its can-do attitude. The staff has built a reputation on it. Across the state, Skills is recognized for its determination in finding the right supports for everyone - particularly for those individuals other agencies hesitate to serve: people with complex physical and developmental disabilities. Staff has nurtured longstanding partnerships with local government, funding agencies, businesses, schools, service clubs, and other supporters. It is these relationships, built one-by-one and community-by-community, that open doors and create opportunities for the people we serve. These enduring partnerships demonstrate the impact of Skills mission and its dedicated, professional staff.  It is this spirit of community partnership, as well as a dedication to planning for the future, that inspired Skills to begin a partnership with Centre Foundation.
