Believe College exists to promote, assist, and encourage Christian Colleges and Universities to include students with intellectual disabilities in integrated College experience programs


Promote

As evangelists for inclusion we will approach Christian Colleges and Universities to start conversations about including students with intellectual disabilities in their unique environments.  We will share the joys, benefits and rewards of inclusion in an attempt to help others capture the spirit and join the movement.

Assist

Believe College will walk along side organizations who are operating or starting  inclusive college experience programs.  We will connect, pray, and share resources and information to help speed the process, smooth out the bumps and elevate the vision.

Encourage

Believe College will connect with programs to help facilitate networking, relationships, problem solving and sharing of resources.  We believe that “none of us is as smart as all of us” and that by working together all programs and participants will benefit.  Demonstrating and exemplifying inclusion is our primary focus.  Demonstrating cooperation, encouragement and Christian community among like-minded inclusion pioneers is a passion.
