"I have been involved with the Inclusion Center for 20 years.  I am grateful to serve the community that I love and has offered me the support that I needed not only as a young adult, but also as an adult.  I look forward to build programming focusing on healing relationships between privileged and marginalized communities."

"Everyone should experience Camp Anytown for themselves. I can't accurately describe the feeling you get when you see the transformations in the kiddos in such a short period of time. I am forever changed by what I witnessed at Camp and can't wait for my kids to be old enough to attend."
