Mission
VARIETY EMPOWERS OVER 1,650 CHILDREN WITH PHYSICAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES (ALSO REFERRED TO AS CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS) THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT HIGHLIGHT ABILITY RATHER THAN DISABILITY. OUR HOLISTIC APPROACH INCLUDES GIVING CHILDREN CRITICAL MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND THERAPIES ALONG WITH INNOVATIVE ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS WHICH PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADVENTURE, SOCIALIZATION, AND ARTISTIC EXPRESSION. CHILDREN ALSO GAIN INDEPENDENCE, GROW IN INTERPERSONAL SKILLS AMONG FRIENDS AND FAMILY, DEMONSTRATE POSITIVE BELIEF IN THEMSELVES, AND CULTIVATE SKILLS TO FULLY ENGAGE IN THE WORLD AROUND THEM.
