neighbours' evolution

Neighbours International was founded by Patti Scott in 2009. After 14 years of successfully leading Neighbours Inc.--  an innovative non-profit organization created specifically to support people with disabilities and their families in choosing and designing a life for themselves within their local towns and neighborhoods in New Jersey and southeast Pennsylvania -- Patti had received many requests to establish "Neighbours" agencies in communities across the United States. Neighbours Inc's vision is not one of expansion, but rather focusing on deeply engaging in partnering with people with disabilities, and their families and allies in the communities where they live and work. 

Neighbours International was established to support the collective efforts of individuals, families, the agencies that work for them, and the governments that fund them, as they work to go deeper in transforming systems, services, and the communities where people live.  We support the move from a congregated program focus, to an individualized person directed focus, that enables people to envision the life they want to live, and invest the resources available to them to support that vision.

vision

Neighbours International envisions. an international collaborative change movement...
  • creating inclusive communities that are vibrant, healthy, beautiful, and sustainable ...
  • developing possibilities for people with disabilities to bring forward their capacities and contributions to live, love, learn, work, and play as valued citizens who contribute to, and receive the benefits of belonging to the communities where they choose to live.

mission

Neighbours International's mission is to develop capacity and leadership  that makes it possible for inclusive communities to thrive, and people with disabilities to find their place, and be in charge of their pursuit of the dream of valued citizenship.
