About U'Neek & Gifted
Our Commitment to Inclusion
At U’Neek & Gifted, we believe every individual is uniquely made and richly gifted with purpose. As a nonprofit organization, we are dedicated to supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities through compassionate, person-centered care and community-based services.
Our flagship initiative, the G.I.F.T.E.D. program (Great Inclusion Focused on Teaching Empowerment for our Differently Abled), offers Individualized Skills and Socialization (ISS) programming designed to help adults with special needs thrive in daily life. Through structured activities, creative learning, and meaningful social interaction, we provide a safe, inclusive, and uplifting environment for personal and social growth.
Whether at home, in our facility, or within the community, we are committed to promoting independence, inclusion, and dignity for all.
Our Mission
U'Neek & Gifted is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering individuals with special needs by providing access to resources, education, and community-based services. Our mission is to support individuals and their caregivers through life-enriching activities and events that foster independence, creativity, and personal growth. We are committed to helping participants embrace their uniqueness, develop essential life skills, and thrive in an inclusive environment, positively impacting their social, emotional, and practical well-being.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a world where individuals with special needs are celebrated for their abilities and empowered to live fulfilling lives. We strive to dismantle barriers and foster a supportive environment where every person, regardless of ability, has the freedom to thrive. Through dedicated efforts, we aim to provide meaningful opportunities for growth—socially, emotionally, and vocationally—both within our facility and beyond, ensuring that each individual is uplifted, embraced, and valued for their unique contributions.
