No Barriers USA Our mission is to cultivate a mindset in people affected by disabilities to break through barriers and elevate their lives and communities.

No Barriers is a powerful community of modern day pioneers who promote innovation, education and assistive technologies that create transformative life experiences and inspire people with challenges to live full and active lives. No Barriers isn’t just about reaching your own personal summits. It’s also about helping others reach their summits.

Not every barrier can be seen.

Chronic pain. PTS. Traumatic brain injury. Depression. Hearing loss. Challenges that don’t show up in a photo. For millions of people, the hardest climb happens where no one else can see it, and too often it's met with doubt instead of understanding.

This Invisible Disabilities Week, we're honoring everyone carrying something others can't see, and the caregivers walking beside them.

At No Barriers, we know that What's Within You is Stronger Than What's in Your Way. That's true whether your barrier is visible or not.

To anyone living with an invisible disability: we see you. You belong here.

Our community is built on showing up for each other, telling the truth about the hard parts, and choosing to keep moving forward supported by our Rope Teams. Because we’re STRONGER TOGETHER.

Our 2026 Program Season was filled with impactful moments, deep connections, and a community that continues to show up.

But don't take our word for it. Check out this note we received from Jim, an alum who attended this year's Caregiver Expedition. We're so grateful that he shared these beautiful thoughts about his No Barriers experience!



Images: This video starts with a photo of Jim Binns on the Challenge Course at the No Barriers Mountain Campus, followed by the text of Jim's thoughts, which read as follows: After six years of caring for my wife, I had lost much of what made me who I am. I was worn down and struggling to be the kind of caregiver Laura deserved. Thankfully, I discovered No Barriers and was selected to attend their caregiver experience in Colorado. I continue to face my daily challenges with the encouragement, perspective, and tools I brought home from the Mountain Campus. I now know that what is within me is stronger than what is in my way, and I feel better equipped to be the caregiver my wife deserves. I also have a bond with the other caregivers and staff that I will cherish forever. I would not have been able to attend No Barriers Mountain Campus without the generous support of the donors. Their kindness made this experience possible, and I will always be grateful." Jim Binns, Blissfield, MI

Shoutout to Melissa Simpson, No Barriers' very own ambassador and all-around awesome human, who was featured in the recently published "See Us, Know Us: Profiles of Disability," by disability and DEI advocate Jennifer Chassman Browne. Melissa shared a poem about her Rope Team, a reference to the No Barriers concept of surrounding yourself with the people who will collaborate with and connect you to a strong community of support on your life journey.

Browne offers portraits, narrative biographies, original poems, and poem origin stories around joy, challenges, authenticity, and inclusion for 30 individuals living with developmental or physical disabilities.

You can buy this beautiful work at JenniferChassmanBrowne.com or any book e-tailer! 🧡

Big news for anyone who's been longing for the red rock trails of Southern Utah!

Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, and Arches national parks now each have at least one all-terrain wheelchair built for off-pavement adventure, available to visitors with limited access to unpaved trails.

At No Barriers, we talk a lot about your rope team: the people who show up, cheer you on, and help you reach the summit (literally and figuratively). But sometimes the right rope team includes the right gear, too. When the tools match the terrain, more of us get to say yes to the trail. 🙌

Here's to more dust on more wheels, and more people out there achieving what's possible. Check out the national parks program here: https://www.nps.gov/orgs/1072/all-terrain-wheelchairs-utah-5.htm

It's our first Mountain Campus Campout & Volunteer Weekend this October 2-3 in Livermore, CO. Help us winterize campus for the season, lend a hand on the trails, and enjoy crisp mountain air with a great community. Camp overnight or just come up for one of the days.
