About Barber National Institute

At the heart of our work is a promise that those served are never alone; if their needs extend beyond our programs, we help them make the right connection.

What makes us different is our roots. We remain a family-led organization, guided by second and third generations who carry forward Dr. Barber’s vision.

We meet individuals where they are, walking alongside them with compassion, expertise, and care that is deeply personal. We build relationships, grounded in trust and inspired by faith, hope, and love, that last a lifetime.

Our staff are more than professionals- they are advocates, mentors, and partners in possibility. Together we create environments where people are seen, valued, and supported to reach their fullest potential- not just in our programs, but in their homes, schools, workplaces, and communities.

We are more than a service provider. We’re where the belief in each person’s potential is not just our mission, but our legacy.
