Mission Statement
Our mission is to encourage and support individuals with developmental disabilities, enhance their ability to live, learn, and work in an independent and inclusive manner, and to educate the community about their contributions and capabilities.
Description
Mountain Valley Developmental Services was founded in 1973 by a group of parents and volunteers, and was incorporated as a non-profit agency in 1975. Mountain Valley has since become an organization which provides a comprehensive array of services to children and adults with developmental disabilities in Garfield, Eagle, Pitkin and Lake Counties.
We assist individuals in attaining their maximum potential and independence.
if you are looking for a fun and rewarding way to give back to the community, we have numerous volunteer opportunities! For example, you can participate in our athletic and outdoor programs - basketball, track & field, or bowling; share your craft projects; teach someone how to sew or use a computer; share community activities such as music events; explore the parks and the great outdoors; go to a movie; go fishing; play pool; go swimming; or share a meal. A few hours a month would make a huge difference, and the opportunities are as endless as your interest and imagination!
