Today, we celebrate the incredible work nonprofits do every day to strengthen communities, create opportunities and make a difference in the lives of others.

At The Learning Tree, our mission is more than the services we provide. It’s about helping children and adults with developmental disabilities reach their fullest potential while creating a place where they are supported, encouraged and valued.

None of this would be possible without our dedicated staff, community partners, donors, volunteers and supporters who believe in our mission and continue to stand beside us.

On National Nonprofit Day, we are especially grateful for everyone who helps us continue Growing Together.

Our Mobile residents spent the weekend exploring at the New Orleans Zoo, seeing all the animals and enjoying a fun day together! Outings like this give our residents the opportunity to experience new things, get out into the community and make some great memories along the way.

A special thank you to the Kilborn Kids and The Treadwell Foundation for making this field trip possible for our residents. We are so grateful for your support and for helping us provide experiences like this!
