About Us
Since 1976, Futures Unlimited, Inc. has been providing community based support for individuals with disabilities living in Sumner County Kansas. In addition, we work with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers and their families through a variety of programs to help them become happy, successful kids – regardless of a disability or economic background.
As a locally-governed and managed not-for-profit organization employing over 100 staff members such as teachers, therapists, nurses, direct support professions, and other support positions - we are actively involved in the process of helping folks be successful in their own communities. And we’re always involved in making our communities better places for everyone.
Our mission statement really says it all!
We are champions for empowerment, inclusion and opportunity.
You don’t have to look far to find evidence of our community involvement. We’re buzzing around the streets of Wellington providing general public transportation; our preschoolers are on playgrounds and out and about on field trips and learning adventures; adults served are working at local jobs and living in apartments and houses throughout the area; and our staff are working with individuals and families in their homes, places of work, and in the community.
