About Us

Exceed Enterprises is a one-stop nonprofit serving Oregonians of diverse abilities through exceptional vocational, recreational, and personal development services. We help clients exceed expectations—their own and those of society—by building skills, confidence, connections, and opportunities to be a vital part of the community.

In 1968, Exceed was founded by two trailblazing mothers who wanted to create more opportunities for activities and community engagement for their children. More than 50 years later, we still have that advocate spirit, and continue to evolve how we serve the 1 in 4 Oregonians who experience disability.

We offer a wide spectrum of services to support adults with diverse abilities at every stage of community inclusion and employment—enriching group activities, individual job training and placement, group placements, and more. We meet clients where they are, listen to their stories and needs, and build a customized plan together for the right path for them as a unique individual. We also partner with our community and businesses to matchmake the best placements and provide support along the way.

For people with diverse abilities, we help build meaningful, fulfilling activities and employment opportunities that can increase independence, self-confidence, and dignity.
