Speaking on Business: TURN Community Services

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. TURN Community Services helps people with disabilities live more independently through support with housing, jobs and daily life. They also help build confidence, skills and community connections. Associate Executive Director, Brenda Harris, joins us with more.

Brenda Harris: 

At TURN Community Services, this work is personal to me. I’ve seen how the right support can truly change someone’s life… not by taking over, but by helping them build a life that feels like their own.

Our mission is simple but powerful, we TURN dreams into reality. Our vision is a community where people of all abilities are valued, included and have the opportunity to live meaningful lives. 

And the way we get there is through our core values of choice, quality and respect. We take the time to really know each person and their goals, their routines, what brings them joy.  We walk alongside them as they create a life that reflects that.

TURN spans the entire state of Utah, supporting individuals in their homes, workplaces and communities. This past year, over 780 individuals and 400 team members were part of TURN. This is about helping people feel seen, supported and empowered in their everyday lives.

Derek Miller: 

By continuing to support people across Utah, TURN Community Services is strengthening communities, expanding inclusion and helping individuals live more independent, meaningful lives. Learn more at TURNCommunityServices.org. I’m Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.
