Building One Strong Community
With over a century of combined service to thousands of individuals across the Finger Lakes region of New York, Mozaic and Challenge have long shared a common commitment: building one strong community where people with varying abilities and barriers gain independence and become an integral part of society.
Beginning in 2021, these two nonprofit agencies formed an alliance to broaden and strengthen this vital mission. Each partner brings a unique and symbiotic set of skills to the table.
Mozaic is a premiere provider with a comprehensive range of clinical, residential, educational, vocational and day service programs for children and adults with developmental disabilities, as well as a thriving integrated enterprise, Finger Lakes Textiles, which has been manufacturing winter hats and other apparel for U.S. Armed Forces and the public for over 25 years.
Challenge is regionally distinctive in its specialized focus on community-based prevocational and supported employment services for people with disabilities, mental health diagnoses, and socioeconomic or legal obstacles, as well as its suite of flexible contract staffing solutions that augment essential operations at Cornell University, Cayuga Medical Center, Wegmans, and many other top area employers.
This alliance will position both agencies to offer a more robust array of person-centered, community-integrated services to an expanded geographical area while promoting fiscal sustainability and opening up new avenues for innovation.
