Vision

People of all abilities will find belonging, realize their potential, and experience well-being.

Mission

Building bridges to a life of social well-being for individuals with disabilities.

Building Connections,
Enriching Lives

We began in 1927 as an organization providing orthopedic equipment and schooling to children with physical disabilities. During our 96-year history, we have evolved to meet the ever changing needs of people with disabilities in this community.

Today, LifeBridge Partnership serves both children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in St. Louis City, St. Louis County and St. Charles County, providing recreational and social opportunities to promote a meaningful and inclusive community life.

Our Programs

 

Leaders Club (Youth)

This afterschool enrichment program offers interactive, engaging activities designed to promote self-confidence and social skills critical to community life.

LifeBridge Camps (Youth)

Our camps provide opportunities to participate in a variety of activities, field trips, and fun! Camps are offered throughout the year when school is not in session.

Out and About (Adult)

Out & About equips adult participants with the skills necessary to maximize their potential through community-based recreation and social activities that promote community life. Focused skill development includes navigating the community safely, communicating with others, and advocating for oneself.
