Volunteer Board Member
Las Trampas School, Inc. is a non‑profit organization that supports individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). For over 60 years we have been a provider of choice delivering many needed services and programs to adults with developmental disabilities, including Autism, IDD, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and other similar conditions. Founded in 1958 as a residential school, our philosophy has always been that persons with developmental disabilities are entitled to develop their optimum state of social, physical, and mental well‑being, and share an integrated lifestyle similar to what non‑disabled persons are fortunate to enjoy.
Currently we provide day‑program educational and vocational services, residential services, supported and independent living services throughout Contra Costa County.
