Extraordinary Ventures’ local businesses are an integral part of the Chapel Hill community. Our portfolio approach provides important diversification of products, services, and inclusive employment opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities like autism.
Extraordinary Ventures is a non-profit with a mission to create and nurture self-sustaining small businesses with the philosophy that all people are employable. We focus on providing employment opportunities for an often overlooked workforce – adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities such as autism.
For more than 15 years, Extraordinary Ventures has been working towards bettering our community and local economy by meeting consumer needs through operating a portfolio of sustainable businesses.
In 2007, Extraordinary Ventures was founded by a group of families in Chapel Hill, North Carolina to address the serious employment gap for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism. From the outset, our vision has been to create and manage a portfolio of small business ventures designed around the skills and interests of an inclusive workforce.
We have tried different ventures over the years, but one thing that has never changed is our goal to enable every individual in our society the opportunity to achieve their highest quality of life, regardless of their intellectual and developmental abilities.
