Trevor finds great satisfaction in working at a local car dealership where he currently keeps inventory. Trevor completes his job duties on his own, and is supported by a job coach. Through Trevor’s experience working with the support of a customized employment agency (New Options), the Waldons met Mike Butler, the current Executive Director at ITG. Independence Through GRACE Foundation and Mike’s nonprofit, Limitless Micro-Enterprise Development, Inc, had such compatible missions that in 2022, the two organizations joined forces and Limitless became a program under the ITG umbrella. New Options, Trevor's employment service provider, followed soon after. Now the three programs--GRACE, Limitless, and New Options--are all housed at ITG, and our participants have the opportunity to participate in the programs most interesting to them. Only God knows what’s in store for Independence Through GRACE Foundation, but our team has high aspirations for future expansions and growth. Our dream is to be a one-stop-shop for all things related to intellectual and developmental disabilities in Bakersfield, and to offer even more online resources for parents whose children receive diagnosis, small business owners with diverse abilities, and others who have or love someone with diverse abilities.  Please consider joining us on our journey to create a better world: a world in which adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities are valued as whole persons able to contribute to the flourishing of their communities.
