The Story Behind the Photo
The Nemasket River holds deep meaning for our organization, rooted in the vision of our founding Executive Director, Lou Nisenbaum. Inspired by the river’s natural rhythm, Lou noted its historical role as a source of nourishment and renewal for the Wampanoag people. He envisioned an organization that would similarly support and enrich the lives of those in our community. The Nemasket Group was born from this vision—a place for all it touches. The image of the river reflects both our origins and our ongoing journey: paving a new direction while staying true to our roots!
Mission Statement:
“The Nemasket Group empowers individuals and families of all abilities to live self-directed lives through innovative services, meaningful opportunities, and inclusive community connections.”
