About Us

Mission Statement

Our mission is to help people build the life they choose through advocacy, personalized care, education, and unwavering belief.

At Firefly, we don’t create magic.

We build belief

Belief that leads to independence, joy, and lives people are proud to call their own. Belief isn’t wishful thinking. It’s what unlocks possibility. And once it starts to grow… it flies.

Belief Builders

Our Belief Builders guide how we show up for the people we serve and for each other. They shape how we build belief through trust, support, and collaboration to help people light up with possibility.

Meet Francis the Firefly

Meet Francis - our beloved Firefly mascot. Just picture a summer evening when you've seen a field of fireflies. The memory brings a warm smile to our faces as we recall the wonder, magic, and the warmth of that moment. Francis embodies this warmth and magic for us. At Firefly, we're committed to creating lasting and genuine relationships with our clients, providing them with experiences and results that can only be described as truly magical.
