We support adults to live the life they choose.
Participants volunteer at the Oregon Food Bank
We offer support for our participants to engage in activities that are health, social, sustainable and fun. Every day, they meet on-site in small groups to create a schedule, then head out across the city to explore on public transportation.
A typical day at On-The-Move might include:
A visit to a museum, library or favorite coffee shop
Breaking a sweat at CrossFit or dance
Volunteering at a community organization
Exploring Portland’s museums, libraries and shops
Participants are always dreaming up new ways to engage, enjoy and enrich the social fabric of our community!
Our small-group model provides just the right mix of self-determination and teamwork. When participants are uncertain about what to do or what opportunities are available our staff offer guidance and options. Staff are trained to deliver mobility and communication supports.

Short-term 1:1 Person-centered Support
Sometimes participants want a more intimate approach to help develop their dreams and goals. Short-term, one-on-one appointments are available for participants to complement their involvement in our small-group community inclusion program. Participants often use these 2.5 hour-long appointments to identify strengths and needs they may not be ready to explore among peers.
Community Partnerships
We have ongoing partnerships with various area businesses and organizations that are favorites of our participants. The monthly routine of our visits builds community and mutual support.
