About Us

The Shine Project Foundation’s mission is dedicated to bridging the gap between special needs families and their communities by providing free inclusive enrichment programs, caregiver wellness events, and access and support to vital resources. Shine creates safe, welcoming spaces for families to build confidence, develop relationships, and explore their unique strengths. Through these efforts, Shine reduces isolation, empowers families, and helps communities become more inclusive so every individual has the opportunity to thrive and SHINE.
