UCP Central Florida's Charter School Excels at serving students with and without a disability
“New research suggests this mix of students raises achievement — not only for the students with disabilities, but their non-disabled classmates as well.”
Gone For Good Document Destruction began in October 2006 at United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Birmingham with one government contract. Since then Gone For Good has grown to serve hundreds of companies.
Although Gone For Good Secure Document Destruction provides the most secure shredding in the industry, what makes them unique is the fact that their program was developed to create jobs for adults with severe disabilities.
Today, Gone for Good is operating in 4 UCP affiliates: UCP of Greater Birmingham, UCP of Arkansas, UCP Land of Lincoln, and UCP of the North Bay.
Gone for Good shreds documents and few misconceptions along the way…

Welcome to the Mission Driven Business tumblr
As we approach the end of 2011, some of you are asking yourselves what do I need to accomplish in the coming year. You might be thinking about new projects or benchmarking the status of current efforts. You may be seeking inspiration from the successes (or failures) of others.
At UCP Mission Driven Business, we are thinking about all those things and hope to be your companion in the coming time, in part, through this tumblr technology. We will update you on thought leaders’ thoughts and inspiring stories of accomplishments and our own success stories.
The name Mission Driven Business probably connotes different things to each person, and that is fine. To us it means creating and fostering an entrepreneurial culture in the delivery of services and advocacy for people with disabilities.
We have no road map for this drive, but many fellow travelers.
This tumblr will be read by participants from inside and outside the UCP network and around the globe. We hope this will be a place to learn, converse, challenge and inspire ourselves and each other.
So, welcome to this journey into the culture of entrepreneurship as we dedicate ourselves to a life without limits for people with disabilities.
