Who We Are
Beyond the Skies is a developing nonprofit preparing to serve families across Berkeley and Jefferson Counties in West Virginia. We support individuals with autism and developmental disabilities and the families who stand beside them. Our work aims to bring clarity, hope, and meaningful support to communities where resources have been limited and families often feel overlooked. We focus on the whole family, ensuring every child and caregiver feels seen, supported, and empowered.
