‘UNTHINKABLE’
VOCATIONAL RESOURCE SERVICES
‘Where doing the ‘UNTHINKABLE’ is
possible’
*Unthinkable- (Noun)
Something that cannot be conceived or
imagined, as something too unusual, vague,
or disagreeable.
About Us- Today's unthinkable is tomorrow's reality
‘Unthinkable’ is a Nonprofit organization that was founded by and remains under the
direction of R. Rice, Jr. in February 2014. The organization was ‘born’ from the
‘experience’ of its founder when providing services for a client through a local
Rehabilitative/Caregiving firm. During his tenure he found that often the desires,
talents, dreams and passion of those that have developmental challenges remain
overlooked. The ‘inability’ to express and articulate ones interest leads to ‘lives never
lived’.
In his quest to advocate for those that were often ‘ignored’ and ‘overlooked’, it was
found that many of the gifts, talents and inventions that we enjoy today were wrought
from the mind of those that are developmentally challenged.
The children and young adults that we often discount have dreams, goals, talents and
abilities. They deserve an opportunity to do the UNTHINKABLE.
There are also individuals, firms, organizations and companies that aspire to make a
difference and to make the UNTHINKABLE a reality.*Unthinkable- (Noun)
Something that cannot be conceived or imagined, as something too unusual, vague, or
disagreeable.
The Vision- Today's unthinkable is tomorrow's reality
*Unthinkable- (Noun)
