About Springboard

Springboard is an Individualized Training Program vendored by the Far Northern Regional Center. We wholeheartedly embrace individuals who have encountered barriers in accessing traditional day program or work program services, whether due to denial or expulsion. Our unwavering commitment lies in serving the marginalized and underserved members of our community, enriching their lives by providing meaningful social and work opportunities. Inspired by the exclusion faced by lower-functioning individuals with disabilities, Springboard's name represents our dual purpose: to act as a launchpad for personal growth, akin to the transformative season of spring.
