Partnership Resources Theory of Change
Partnership Resources’ vision is that every person with disabilities thrives in an inclusive community.
Through the Theory of Change process, members of the PRI team worked together to build this common vision. With the help of Aurora Consulting, we discussed the work we do, the impact we have, and the change our work intends to achieve. Together, we formed our Theory of Change including a common language and a visual representation that communicates our vision and impact:

Through individualized planning and support, we help each person learn, grow, advocate, and increase their independence in community life. This work is key to our mission of creating partnerships between people with disabilities and the community.
In our programs, each person explores their interests and goals, develops skills that will help them along the way, discovers their voice, and makes choices about how they want to participate in the community. PRI’s programming includes vocational exploration, employment support, functional skill development, community involvement, self-advocacy, and opportunities for creative expression.
Our vision is that every person with disabilities thrives in an inclusive community. Together with our community partners, we raise awareness, help shape opportunities, and ensure that people with disabilities have abundant choices in community life.
