"Over the years, I have done a lot of volunteering for events and programs geared towards children with diverse needs and I always have the most rewarding experiences getting to know families, and watching children build confidence through play!"

“I’ve always been drawn to working in the non-profit sector because I really value the advocacy and positive impact they create in the community. The work we do with children and families really align with my personal values, which is what made me excited to be part of the organization."

“My interest in working with children with diverse needs grew from my own experience as a parent. My eldest son attended this same facility for three years, and during that time, I was incredibly grateful for the care, compassion, and support he received from the wonderful staff. The relationships built, and the positive experiences made this place especially meaningful to me. It is truly an honor to now be part of this team and give back to other families by providing the same care, encouragement, and support that meant so much to my own family."

“I have always had a passion for working with children and helping them succeed. Working with children with diverse needs allows me to support their growth, celebrate their unique strengths, and help them develop important life and social skills. I find great joy in fostering peer interactions and creating opportunities for every child to thrive."

“I stumbled upon a job working with children with diverse needs and having realized I have the natural aptitude for the job, I pursued formal education in the disabilities field. My experiences continue to draw me to this work, as my appreciation grew for the hard work that parents and guardians put in raising and supporting their family members with diverse needs. These experiences reinforce my belief in the necessity of the “village” in raising children. I’m a strong believer that early intervention and community supports are the most meaningful and most cost-effective approach to public health."
