From our beginnings to what’s ahead, this film captures Relay’s journey and the future we’re building together where disabled people belong. Everywhere.

A Short Film Series: Relay's Legacy

These films trace the story of Relay Resources, from our beginnings as the Portland Children’s Center in 1951 to our vision of a future where all disabled people belong. Everywhere.

"The sediment of Relay's 75-year history formed the foundation of our organization's identity. Looking into the distance, I reimagined our founders' unfinished vision of a future of belonging for their children by refining and expanding it to reflect a broader vision: All Disabled People Belong. Everywhere. This continuous cycle of being informed by our past and guided by our ambitious future compels us to be urgent and intentional in our work today to transform workplaces and communities by championing disability inclusion," explains Dr. Jennifer Camota Luebke, CEO, chief disability inclusion officer and president of Relay Resources. What started as a refusal to accept the status quo of exclusion has grown into a broader commitment to disability justice.

About the Films

At our 75th Anniversary Celebration, we shared an abridged version of the film of our past. The full version offers a deeper look at the people, milestones, and moments that have shaped Relay over time. It reflects how our past informs our vision of the future, and how as we continually strive for that future, it shapes our present.

Relay’s Legacy is not just about where we’ve been. It’s about how we continue to grow, listen, and build toward a future where disabled people belong. Everywhere. These films are an invitation to understand that journey and to be part of what comes next.
