We're Growing- Join Us!
We are recruiting board members and ambassadors for the 2027-2029 term! We welcome candidates with a wide range of skills and backgrounds to help guide our growth. Above all, we are searching for members and ambassadors with a passion for serving individuals with special needs and their families.
Our Mission
For Jack and Allie is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing therapeutic and educational support to children affected by autism and related disorders. Our mission is to help families access the services their child needs by supplementing cost-prohibitive tuition, deductibles, and co-pays where traditional grants and scholarships fall short.
2027-2029 Goals
We have big plans to expand our reach to families with special needs individuals!
We are starting with launching our "From Fear to Familiarity- Healthcare Access for Individuals with Special Needs" project. This project's main goal is to make healthcare access more accessible for individuals with special needs by first providing medical desensitization kits and tutorials. These kits allow individuals to get hands on experience and practice with procedures that they may have had or will have a traumatizing experience with such as being held down for a blood draw. On the other end of things, we are providing healthcare training healthcare professionals on working with individuals with special needs to make the experience better for providers, individuals, and their caretakers.
Once the pilot training for healthcare professionals is complete, we will be launching an online CEU to train more professionals as well as bring a steady income to provide more grants!
2027-2029 Goals Continued
Along with the From Fear to Familiarity project, we have plans to increase:
- Community awareness
- Fundraising efforts and events
- Monthly donor campaign
- Attendance to community and networking events
- Social media following
If these are goals you have experience in or are passionate about, we'd love to have you join our team as a board member or ambassador!
