A Community where everyone belongs

Empowering All We Serve!

At Madonna, being active members of the community isn't just a goal, it's who we are. Those we serve are integrated daily in their school, community, and/or workplace where they maximize their skills, build positive relationships, and use their gifts to make a lasting impact on their peers, neighbors, and co-workers.  At Madonna, we celebrate and elevate the abilities of our students and adult participants each day!
