Our Mission

We are a Center for Independent Living.  We are dedicated to the empowerment of people and our community.

Our Values

We strive to go above and beyond for our community no matter the challenge. We aim to deliver our very best work every single day across our services.

“Just remember as we do this. One life impacted big or small, one life altered for the positive, one life forever potentially saved through our time spent listening and caring and finding support, is worth every moment we spend doing what we do. We are people, helping a real person. Be proud of that.”

Since 1981, we have been building strong communities by working with people to discover their full potential.
Abilitree believes everyone has the right to live a full and independent life.
 
As a Center for Independent Living, we’ve been an ally and an advocate for the Central Oregon community, helping thousands of individuals with disabilities and their families transform obstacles, pursue their goals, and access all opportunities in life.
 
We are an empowerment resource service.
 
We listen to your story.
 
We consider if we can provide you services that will help you reach your goals.
 
If we can’t provide you with a service, we help you network with those who can.
