What We're Building -With You
We’re launching four key initiatives designed to meet the unique needs of special needs families in Omaha. These programs are in development, and we’re seeking community involvement to bring them to life:
-
We envision a family-friendly garden where kids can explore, caregivers can connect, and everyone can learn together through hands-on nature activities and seasonal gatherings.
-
We’re building a structured mentorship program that pairs trained adult volunteers with children with special needs for monthly one-on-one outings and skill-building sessions.
-
Our goal is to offer engaging classes, events, and workshops for both children and parents. From life skills and sensory-friendly learning to parenting tools, these experiences will be tailored for families with special needs.
-
Reliable transportation is essential. We're working to create a system that helps families access events, services, and community programs without limitations.
