Our Leadership

Our Journey

2009

At just 18 years old, our Founder, Jonathan Fraley, began working in the intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) field, where he discovered a passion for helping individuals grow in confidence, independence, and connection.

2011

As he gained experience, Jonathan continued building meaningful relationships with the individuals and families he served, strengthening his belief that every person deserves to be known, valued, and supported.

2019

Years of hands on experience deepened Jonathan’s vision for what true person centered support could look like and inspired him to dream about creating something of his own.

2021

In 2021, Jonathan met Annabel Cardoza, who now serves as CEO of Decade Day Service. United by a shared passion for serving others, they quickly recognized a common vision of creating something centered on people, purpose, and genuine community.

2023

The vision became Decade Day Service, a community built on compassion, purpose, and the belief that every individual deserves the opportunity to thrive.

Today

Decade continues to grow, creating meaningful experiences, lasting friendships, and opportunities for adults with IDD to live with confidence, purpose, and joy.
