About Us
Where We Come From
The man you see above is Harley Corbin. He is a successful entrepreneur and education advocate. I am fortunate enough to call him my grandfather. He has always been the loudest voice in our family for continuing education, whether it was a military profession, journeyman certification, or higher educational pursuits.
Harley grew up in West Virginia, and his family worked extremely hard to provide the bare essentials for their wellbeing. In 1951 he left West Virginia to go out and seek work to support himself and his family. Shortly after that, Harley moved to Michigan and began to work in the construction trades in the early 1950s. From there, he founded and sold several businesses, his last business, American Drilling and Testing Company Incorporated, sold in 2013. Throughout his entire life, Harley has preached to his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren about the importance of education, hard work, dedication, and philanthropy. Having been heavily involved in Free Mansory, Harley has contributed to and been apart of numerous philanthropic causes.
These ideals of which my grandfather continues to reinforce in me have led me to become the person I am today and overcome my challenges with having a neurodevelopmental disability. If it were not for my grandfather, I would never have received the necessary early interventional services, which allowed me to grow and overcome my challenges.
The HJC Foundation realizes that families are faced with many considerations when a child receives an intellectual or developmental disability diagnosis, and we are here to help.

Our Promise
Our goal is to build a society which better understands, accepts and appreacates those individuals with intellectual and developmental disorders
We commit to the following;
- We help connect families to services which can make individual education plans for children with learning disabilities.
- We work with case managers to develop individual success plans which ensure proper transitions to the educational pathway of their choosing (i.e., journeyman certificates, college degrees, military careers, graduate degree/certifications, etc.)
- We can provide financial support and resource referral to families who need educational and achievement testing for their child.
- We hope to establish scholarships not only for STEM fields and other formal collegiate areas, but also skilled labor trades, of which we so desperately need.
- We offer support to other institutions that provide services to students in need of educational assistance, ensuring that every student is successful within their path.
- We provide community outreach and training opportunities to foster mutual respect and communication across platforms, which is critical in the forward progression of educational reform.
As we grow, we plan to open an independent facility which allows us to advance the ways we meet our organizational goals. We hope that you will grow with us.
