About Us

OUR MISSION

MS, I’mpossible is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit built by and for young adults with MS, with a clear mission to provide community support and financial assistance to young adults living with MS to help them navigate the diagnosis and pursue a life full of possibilities.

OUR VALUES

Adaptive/Growth Mindset | We embrace adaptability and continuous learning. We acknowledge that we don’t have all the answers, but we are dedicated to seeking them out collaboratively. By listening to our community and being open to new ideas, we evolve to meet the changing needs of young adults living with MS.

Purposeful Joy | We recognize the importance of joy in all that we do. By intentionally incorporating moments of laughter, celebration, and lightness into our programs, we help our community find strength and resilience in joy—even amidst challenging circumstances.

Community-Centered | Community is our cornerstone. We are committed to fostering a supportive environment not only for the young adults we serve but also for the volunteers, donors, and partners who make our mission possible. By cultivating connections across all facets of our organization, we create a unified network that empowers everyone involved.

Authentic Leadership | Authenticity and vulnerability are at the heart of our leadership. We believe in leading by example, sharing our stories, and creating a space where others feel safe to do the same. This approach fosters trust and encourages open, honest communication throughout our community.

Unconditional Support | We are committed to providing support without strings attached. Our focus is on offering genuine assistance, allowing young adults to access the resources they need without added pressure to fundraise.
