Mission Statement
Our mission is to support individuals with disabilities physically, emotionally, and spiritually. RMIC will help them find self-worth and support them in gaining independence by teaching basic life skills, social skills, and skills for the workforce. RMIC will provide a safe space to come and socialize and grow in skills and abilities. We will provide opportunities for meaningful training to help this community thrive and become capable and productive members of society. And finally, we will achieve these things with compassion and understanding for all.
How we Started
Rocky Mountain Inclusive Connections started with one small socialization event organized by our cofounders in July of 2023. Following this event, our group got together for basketball monthly, a Christmas party, a “Galentine’s Day” celebration, and a few other events. Watching our group grow and seeing the potential we had to enrich the lives of this special community, we decided to expand our opportunities and form a nonprofit organization in March of 2024.
Vision for the Future
Our vision for the future is to continue to make more community connections in order expand our event opportunities. We plan to provide at least 2 events per month focused on socialization and/or life skills. We also plan to host some parent/guardian workshops.
Meet the Founders…
Julia and Levi Worrell
Hello!
We are the founders of RMIC. We feel so incredibly blessed to be leading this organization. We both have a lot of experience working with children and adults with various disabilities and special needs. It has been amazing watching our small group turn into this organization!
Julia grew up with an amazing brother who has special needs which is where she found her passion for this underreached community. She is a nurse case manager and works with children and adults with various special needs. She has a huge passion to help these individuals thrive socially, emotionally, and physically.
Levi works in telecom but has a background working with special needs. Throughout school, he worked with kids with disabilities sparking his passion and interest in helping this community grow and being a part of something bigger. He has a heart to mentor the young men in our group and empower them to become successful and confident members of our society.
We have an incredible vision for this organization, and have such a huge heart to pour into our community in this way.
