Our Impact

We provide special needs students social and emotional enrichment in a safe and caring environment through themed monthly meetings including appropriate activities, food, dancing and art. Parents can relax and connect with their peers, knowing that their children are cared for and having fun. Volunteer mentors work with the special needs students, creating respect, understanding and lasting bonds.   

While FUN focuses on the special need’s families, the program strives to enrich the lives of its many volunteers. Through F.U.N., mentors are exposed to, and enlightened about, the challenges of raising a special needs child. Their volunteer experiences support future goals of becoming  advocates and ambassadors in the community.
