Our Vision
The Summit Community Center (SCC) was created to support young adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) and those considered neurodivergent, initially aged 18-35+, to develop a sense of place, true community membership, and opportunities for continued growth and independence. The SCC offers programming across four core pillars: Education, Recreation, Community, and Growth to provide a range of classes and programming that appeal to all the different abilities and passions of the SCC members. We have developed a network of ‘clubs within the club’ to create a variety of exciting options for all young adults and to foster a true sense of belonging and community where our members can go to learn, grow, recreate, and develop a sustainable social network.
The founding principle of the Summit Community Center is to celebrate all of our members as unique individuals and to recognize the value and contributions they bring to their SCC community and the community at large.
Our Pillars
Education
The SCC offers a range of exciting classes for members to pursue their individual or group interests. We continue to explore a range of programs that are tailored to the passions and input of every young adult to ensure all members are thriving in the SCC community. The SCC was designed from the ground up to ensure all young adults can continue to learn and grow their talents.
Community
We offer a game room, hang out spaces, dances, movie nights, talent shows, and much more that truly make our community a home away from home. All young adults at the SCC also have the opportunity to gain leadership and mentorship skills that will help them be leaders and peer models in the greater community.
Recreation
We want fun and fitness to be one at the SCC. From sports, to exercise and dance classes, to exploring the great Northwest outdoors, we want our members to get involved and get moving. In addition, through partnerships with local agencies, SCC members have the opportunity to stay fit, learn about sportsmanship, and have fun!
Growth
We are focused on community, friendship, and independence at the SCC. Members help run the SCC by working within the center and in our outdoor spaces. Our young adults also participate in center programming as mentors and group leaders. We plan to staff revenue generating businesses as well to provide members with great jobs and skill building experiences.
