"Providing a Lifetime of Support for Individuals with Special Needs"
Welcome to The Sun Up Center
Sun Up of Indian River, Inc. was formally incorporated as a 501(C)3 in 1994 by a group of concerned parents and friends. Their concerns and passion has provided the impetus to enable Sun Up to grow. Our vision is a unique community where adults with developmental disabilities can reach their full potential in an environment where they can live, learn, work, play and enjoy life together. We invite you to explore this site to learn more about Sun Up, and please contact us if you would like further information about the opportunities we provide or to find out how you can help support our special programs.
Sun Up's Education/Activities Center was completed in 2004. With this facility we can accommodate and expand the existing activities. Our vision inludes training and education, job coaching, community job search, transportation and some sheltered work activity as well as "enterprise centers." Enterprise centers will be businesses set up to provide training and employment opportunities which would create a typical adult life opportunity. It will also provide interaction with the greater community.
Our Mission:
Is to Provide Programs, Services and Quality Residential Opportunities for Individuals
with Special Needs."
