Being, Belonging & Becoming.

B3 is a nonprofit that brings people with and without disabilities together through social, educational, and vocational programs. We create spaces of belonging that advance disability justice, allyship, and inclusion. 

What Our Community Says.

The disability allyship trainings offered by B3 were eye-opening and examined topics I have never heard about before. Discussions about topics such as ableism have helped me reflect on my own bias while also allowing me the opportunity to learn and make changes.

A great group and a fabulous [life skills] program. Thanks to all instructors for the thoughtful curriculum, kind support, role plays, activities, and advocacy language!

– B3 care partner, Kim

Because of B3, our loved ones are more visible, more appreciated, and most importantly, less isolated and living better lives. How do I express how much that means as a mother?

I finally feel like I have a place to be myself”

I’ve gained valuable allyship skills to better support the disabled community, learning to foster inclusivity and collaborate for meaningful social change.

B3 has given me a voice. B3 has given me the career I want to follow, public speaking. B3 has prepared me for any job, including a coffee shop. B3 has given me a community where people care about each other. B3 has given me transportation and cooking skills. I am so grateful.”

CommUNITY in Action

Today in B3’s Navigating the Digital World program, we explored social media (the good, the bad, and the ugly!) and learned how to spot common online scams. 📱🛡️

To apply everything we learned, a few B3 members took a selfie “for Instagram!” Shante, Dakota, and Molly nailed it! 🎯📸

Learning digital skills isn’t just about using technology—it’s about building confidence, staying safe online, and having fun along the way.🙌

We’ve had an incredible week with @dukeotd🤩B3 Summer Adventures camp participants had the opportunity to refresh skills that were introduced in camp through small group lessons led by Duke Occupational Therapy students. Topics included tipping practice, wellness, online safety, community mobility and cooking.

It’s been a true win-win: B3 members benefit from engaging, lifelong learning opportunities, while the next generation of occupational therapy professionals gains hands-on experience with neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based practices.

Thank you, Duke OTD, for your partnership and for helping create more inclusive communities together. 🤝💙

B3 members attended Morehead Planetarium’s sensory friendly science night! ⚗️🧬🔬🧪 We had a fun-filled evening learning about chemical reactions, outer space, and interacting with the many exhibits! We especially appreciated the accessibility features, including visual schedules, fidgets, and dimmed lights. 
We are grateful for tickets gifted from @moreheadplanetarium , supporting the inclusion of B3 members 🙌
