SMCR is here for our community.
One human family
SMCR supports and advocates for individuals with special needs, offering social and educational opportunities to individuals in our community.
Our Mission
SMCR has a broad vision of how communities and persons with developmental differences can live, work, play and learn together.
We implement that vision at the personal level, one person at a time, because each person's needs and dreams matter. We hope to continue to grow so that we may touch the lives of more people in our community.
Our Goal
SMCR promotes the inclusion of persons with developmental differences into the life of our community. We advocate for individuals with special needs to recognize the inherent dignity that is theirs because they are members of our one human family. We promote social, recreational, and educational opportunities where individuals with developmental differences can contribute their unique gifts and develop their potential.
