Itasca Life Options

COMMUNITY. INCLUSION. EMPOWERMENT. EMPLOYMENT. These are the pillars of Itasca Life Options (ILO) that support our mission of "empowering people of all abilities."

Our goal at ILO is to provide services that help to develop and maintain vocational and life skills, increase participation in community life, and engage individuals in proactive and satisfying activities of their own choosing.  Our services help to increase and maintain the physical, intellectual, emotional and social functioning of the people we serve. 

From participating in Dance or Music classes at our local preforming arts center or bussing tables at a local breakfast hot spot to creating one-of-a-kind art at our craft studio, or decorating cupcakes at our coffee shop, each client is given an opportunity to discover enriching activities of their choosing. 

At ILO we believe in the inherent worth and value of every person. Our job is to create unique opportunities, partnerships, and programing to help each person share what they have with our world, and help the world see the importance of an inclusive community. 

ILO serves over 80 clients and employs 40+ staff members. Your donation will go directly to our programming as we continue to expand our quality reputation for compassionate, creative, and person-centered services. 

 Thank you for your support and generosity!
