VIP is a partnership of individuals with disabilities, their family members, and friends working to ensure that opportunities for a full life on Martha's Vineyard are available to all.

​

Originally called the Martha's Vineyard Special Parents Association, VIP was founded in 1983 by a group of families working to improve opportunities for their children with disabilities. 

​

In 2007, we changed the name to Vineyard Independence Partnership to represent a full picture of inclusion for people of all ages living, working, and playing on Martha's Vineyard.

​

Today we offer accessible opportunities in the areas of art, drama, and recreation, while we promote inclusivity for all.
