About Us – Inclusion Revolution

"We are here but for a short time. Roll up your sleeves and GIVE."

— Beaver Shriver, Founder

Our mission is to provide successful jobs for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and to spread our goal of inclusion for all.

An Inclusion Revolution

Most people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are unemployed. Inclusion Revolution, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, supports our efforts to provide secure, successful jobs to help our employees form meaningful friendships with their peers; live independently; improve their public speaking, develop self-advocacy and communication skills; and feel valued and included by society. We celebrate and honor their special abilities!

Dignity and Respect

For too long, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities have been kept in the shadows. Inclusion Revolution supports Rise Up Cafe to offer integrated employment, front and center in our communities. These shops are about inclusion, acceptance and opportunity for all. Visit our amazing Rise Up Cafe team members in one of our inspiring shops, and please help change the life of another by donating today.
