Helping to bridge the gap between families with children with special needs and local communities
Join our mission to empower individuals with special needs and their families. As a Shine Ambassador, you’re part of a compassionate community driving meaningful
change!

This partnership is here to empower you with the tools and support you need to thrive—no matter where you are in your journey. Together, we’ll help you and your family SHINE at every step, unlocking your fullest potential. Let’s make it happen!

We are incredibly grateful to Fox Point Farms for hosting a wellness experience for dedicated caregivers, providing them with a well-deserved moment of rest and rejuvenation.
Engaging with nature, the arts, sports, mindfulness, and community connection offers special needs families profound enrichment and healing. Nature provides calming, sensory-friendly spaces, while the arts empower creativity and self-expression. Sports encourage physical growth and bonding, and mindfulness supports emotional balance for both children and caregivers. Finally, community connections foster understanding and support, helping families feel seen, valued, and empowered.
