Success Stories of Changed Lives

At NCIA, we believe every person deserves to succeed – and we help them find success. With the right support, even those facing the most complex challenges can achieve independence and thrive in their communities. Our unwavering commitment to inclusivity and support has led to transformative outcomes for the people society often overlooks.

Our impact is evident in the lives we’ve changed:

  • Formerly incarcerated people now thriving in productive careers
  • Adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities living independently
  • Trauma-impacted youth and those with developmental disabilities earning an education and pursuing purposeful work and interests
  • People with mental health challenges successfully integrating into their communities

These success stories aren’t exceptions – they represent our goals for each person served by NCIA. Our programs have moved countless individuals from being marginalized to becoming active members of society. Our approach proves that investing in the well-being of others creates immeasurable returns.

We believe in the potential of every person. By backing that belief with comprehensive support, we change lives– and transform communities. With dedicated support, people can overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles and live in the least restrictive environments possible.

At NCIA, we’re delivering real, lasting impact. Every success story reinforces our conviction: no one should be denied the opportunity to reach their full potential, no matter how complex their needs may be.

Youth in Transition School
“My son struggles a great deal with a multitude of challenges that previous schools were unable to handle, yet the YIT school has always found new and creative ways to help him succeed. NCIA has been our saving grace.”
“You helped countless clients of mine and taught me so much. What you taught me probably rescued one of my client’s life and future. You also steered several clients in my direction to handle criminal appeals. I will be eager to support NCIA.”
“Everyone deserves a chance to be successful.”
