Michigan City, IN — Paladin, a Northwest Indiana nonprofit serving adults with disabilities, children, and seniors, is proud to announce the grand opening of its first Success Hub, a modern adult learning and community space. Congressman Frank Mrvan will join Paladin and community leaders for a press conference and facility tour in the newly furnished Success Hub—part of the nearly completed 24,000-square-foot facility transformation made possible by $1.5 million in federal funding awarded in 2023.
The event will showcase how Paladin is creating engaging, accessible, and inclusive spaces that support individuals of all abilities. Community members are invited to attend, explore the new Success Hub, and learn more about Paladin’s wide range of programs and services that empower people to live, learn, and thrive.
Thanks to this federal investment, Paladin has transformed a previously empty warehouse into state-of-the-art environments that promote accessibility, independence, and inclusion. Key features include:
• Accessibility improvements and ADA-compliant design
• Modern classrooms for skill-building, engagement, and employment readiness
• Sensory-friendly and wellness spaces
• Paladin’s new Success Hub—an innovative environment where adults can learn,
connect, and grow
Congressman Frank Mrvan commended Paladin’s continued leadership in advancing inclusive opportunities, noting:
“I thank all of the dedicated leaders and workers of Paladin for their successful initiatives to create a welcoming space for people of all abilities to learn and grow. I look forward to continuing to build on these exemplary services that teach essential life skills and empower people to thrive in Northwest Indiana.”
Building on Congressman Mrvan’s remarks, Paladin leadership emphasized the long-term vision behind the transformation.
“These purpose-built spaces reflect our mission to provide meaningful opportunities for people of all ages and abilities,” said Steve Hobby, CEO of Paladin. “We are deeply grateful for the federal investment and Congressman Mrvan’s support, which has allowed us to transform vision into reality. The Success Hub is more than a building—it’s a promise to our participants and our community that everyone deserves a place to thrive.”
During the December 5, 2025 Noon event, Congressman Mrvan will tour the facility, meet with community members and participants, and highlight the transformative impact of this federal investment. The Success Hub will serve as a model for inclusive learning and community spaces across the region.
