Big news! 🚐 Yesterday, we officially celebrated the arrival of our new 15-passenger van with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony!

We are overwhelmed by the incredible generosity of the CARWM members. Thanks to the CAR Cares campaign, over $30,000 was raised to make this purchase possible!

A huge thank you to the Commercial Alliance of Realtors - West Michigan for hosting us and for seeing firsthand the impact of your support. Together, we are breaking down barriers to employment! 🌟

We are so honored to have been featured in the WOOD TV8 Community Spotlight! 📺✨

Thank You WOOD TV8 for helping us share what we do at Beyond 26. This segment highlights why our mission is so important—especially for those reaching the age of 26 when many traditional resources change.

As one of our parents shared in the video, it’s not about just finding a job; it’s about finding the right fit where our jobseekers can truly shine. We are so proud of individuals like Elizabeth, who is doing incredible work at the Family Network of Wyoming!

"Don't be afraid to ask for help. It doesn't make you weak; it makes you stronger."

Beyond26 was honored to participate in Disability Awareness Day 2026, hosted by our friends at Disability Advocates. It was a powerful reminder of what happens when our community comes together to prioritize accessibility, equity, and inclusion!

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our table to learn more about our mission and to the fellow panelists for the vital conversation. Together, we are building a West Michigan where everyone has the opportunity to shine. 💼✨

The perfect fit! 🏫✨
There is nothing like the feeling of belonging to a team, and this week we are beaming with pride for Alice!
Volunteer opportunities like this are so much more than "just a shift." They are where confidence is built, new skills are sharpened, and community roots are grown.

SHOUTOUT to Saint Thomas the Apostle Catholic School (Grand Rapids, MI)
Thank you for being an inclusive partner and for opening your doors and hearts. You aren't just giving Alice a place to help out; you’re giving her a platform to shine. 💜

💜This is the month of cherishing. To cherish something is to hold it dear, to protect it, and to nurture it. This month, we are taking a moment to cherish the connections, the community, and the people who make our mission possible.

The truth is, our goal of breaking barriers and creating inclusion doesn't happen in a vacuum. It happens because of YOU!

To our Individual Supporters,
As we look at everything we’ve accomplished so far, we wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Whether you’ve donated, shared our posts, or volunteered your time, you are the heartbeat of this organization. You prove that small acts of advocacy lead to massive shifts in inclusion. We see you, and we appreciate you.

To our Business Partners & Event Sponsors,
You’re doing more than just putting a logo on a banner. By partnering with us, you’re helping build a world where everyone has a seat at the table (and a meaningful place to work). Your commitment to our mission provides the stability and resources we need to grow every single day.
Thank you! 💜
