Our Vision:
To build an entrepreneurial program with a high end gift shop and caffè, and a residential community where Citizens with disabilities will continue to learn, work and thrive, being celebrated and empowered in a God-centered environment as they engage in meaningful work and service.

Our Mission:
To provide an innovative, entrepreneurial and residential community for adults with disabilities, where they learn, grow and have a sense of belonging and purpose in contributing to the world around them and changing the way the world views this population.

Our Program:
BiG provides meaningful entrepreneurial activities for those with intellectual, physical and emotional disabilities—who we refer to as Citizens in our community.  BiG Great Lakes believes that these individuals each possess unique talents and abilities, and we strive to give them the platform to share those gifts with our community. BiG developed a program that educates, trains and supports our Citizens in an encouraging, no-fail environment. The program includes enterprises strategically chosen for adaptability, marketability and our Citizens unique gifts and passions. Supervisors make modifications to ensure that every Citizen will have the experiences they deserve.

What We Do
BiG Great Lakes is an “out of the box” innovative entrepreneurial community for adults with special needs where we make and sell high end artisan products, while providing community, connection and a culture of honor. We want to change the way the world views this population by taking the “status quo” of providing these individuals with custodial support to these individuals creating beautiful marketable items to sell to help sustain the vocational community they enjoy everyday. They have become artisans, bakers, gardeners, potters, card makers and more.
