Yvette from Georgia here.  Mission statement is to assist individuals with disabilities and others with barriers to employment in maximizing their potential.   What resonates with me is the word "individual" as we are all different with different wants and needs it is important to be individual minded since one size does not fit all.  The only thing that I would change would be to add to the end the words "and dreams."

WOW powers futures by providing life skills training, community integration, and employment training and support.  Choice and Advocacy are at the forefront of all program models.  “We Work Together as a Team!” and in so doing, we become stronger ourselves and with our community.

Smalls from WOW: I resonate with this because it emphasizes advocating for yourself and putting the power into your own hands for your own future! Self-advocacy is something that I've personally struggled with in my own life as I've learned to navigate the world being non-binary and being a neurodiverse person with ADHD. I've seen first hand how systems for people with developmental disabilities often create environments where people are being talked over or spoken for. Everyone can communicate and everyone needs to be respected in how they communicate their wants and needs and have autonomy over their own life. I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to take charge of their own life and future, so this statement aligns strongly with my values.
