Who we are.
For more than 75 years, the Barbara Olson Center of Hope has been a Center of Possibilities, empowering adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to grow, connect, and live more independently. Through community support, participants and families have access to life-enriching programs that foster independence, deeper connection, and a future filled with possibility.
Who do we serve? We serve adults, starting at age 22, who have an intellectual or developmental disability, in need of active treatment, and who is appropriate for our programs as determined through Services, Inc. and our referral system.
We work with the school districts and provide services through our School Transition program, Bridges to the Future..
The Center of Hope provides Community Day Services, which include Community Employment Services and Volunteer Opportunities. We do not provide residential services.
We serve individuals with behavior issues and/or medical problems. Our direct care staff are fully trained in First Aid, CPR and behavior management.
Thank you.
To our participants, families, staff, donors, volunteers, and community partners—this next chapter would not be possible without your support.
We’re honored to continue this journey together.
Because of early community support, more than $248,000 has already been raised. Now, every gift can go twice as far through the Goellner Family Foundation’s $100,000 matching gift.
