Our Mission, Vision & Values

Dream it. Live it.

Founded by families in 1953, Noble’s services have evolved with the needs of the children and adults we serve. By focusing on our mission and taking the steps outlined in our Strategic Plan, we can achieve the powerful vision we have for a world in which each person can Dream it. Live it.™ every single day.

Our Mission

To expand opportunities and enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities and their families through individualized services.

Our Vision

A world in which children and adults of all abilities live out their dreams in a community that embraces their contributions and recognizes them as fully participating members of our society.

Our Core Values

Everything we do is shaped by our Core Values:

• PEOPLE FIRST

  We believe that all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are defined by their own strengths, abilities and inherent value, not by their disability.

• EQUITY

  We believe that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are entitled to the respect, dignity, equality, safety, and security accorded to other members of society, and are equal before the law.

• COMMUNITY

  We believe that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities belong in the community and have fundamental moral, civil and constitutional rights to be fully included and actively participate in all aspects of society.

• SELF-DETERMINATION

  We believe in self-determination and self-advocacy. People with intellectual and developmental disabilities, with appropriate resources and supports, can make decisions about their own lives and must be heard on issues that affect their well-being.

• DIVERSITY

  We believe that society in general, and Noble in particular, benefit from the contributions of people with diverse personal characteristics, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, religion, age, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, disability, marital status and veteran status.
