Parents & Friends, Inc. is a Fort Bragg, California-based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting adults with developmental disabilities. Established in 1955 by parents and volunteers, the group has evolved from focusing on childhood education to providing a range of services for adults, including community-based support, sheltered employment opportunities, job development, and a licensed day program. The organization operates under a local board of directors and aims to enable individuals with developmental challenges to participate fully in community life. In addition to ongoing services, the organization has pursued expansion efforts, such as new facilities in Fort Bragg, and has received support to enhance COVID-19 testing and vaccination access for staff and community members with developmental disabilities. The nonprofit serves the broader consumer services sector by addressing inclusive living and work opportunities for its target population on the Mendocino Coast.
