Minnesota Independence College and Community

Hello!

We are so glad you are here.

Every day we work to transform the lives of individuals and families affected by autism spectrum disorder and learning disabilities. MICC is a nonprofit organization located in the heart of Richfield only 15 minutes south of Minneapolis. Since our beginning in 1996, our unique campus, located in the Colony Apartments complex, allows our participants to truly engage in an experiential learning and apartment-living environment.

Our programs are focused on delivering curriculum and supports in the areas of independent living skills, social and emotional learning, career skills and employment, and healthy living. We believe our participants can fulfill their potential and live an independent, vibrant life.

We are all the same, we want a sense of purpose, an identity, and to be able to contribute to our community. Having a reason to get up each morning, and a place to go and to have someone be excited to see you is exactly why employment and community is so important.
-Amy Gudmestad, CEO
