EMBRACE ABILITIES

Description

Embrace Abilities was founded with a mission to create a supportive and inclusive community for differently-abled children and their families across the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Inspired by the desire to ensure no child feels left out or unsupported, we serve children aged 3-17 through free, family-focused programs and events.

Since our incorporation in April 2024, we’ve proudly served over 100 families, providing opportunities for connection, learning, and celebration. We host one monthly meetup, alternating between indoor and outdoor events, designed to foster social skills and meaningful relationships for both children and their families.

Signature programs include Birthday Buddies, where we celebrate children’s birthdays during meetups to make every child feel special, and Coffee with Caregivers, a space for parents to recharge, connect, and gain insights from guest speakers.

As we continue to grow, we’re working to establish a more stable leadership model to ensure we can sustainably meet the needs of the families we serve. Our goal is to build on this foundation, creating even more opportunities to celebrate and support differently-abled children and their families in the years ahead.

We’re always looking for passionate volunteers to join us! Whether you’re interested in event planning, engaging with families, or helping behind the scenes, there’s a role for you at Embrace Abilities. Together, we can create a brighter, more inclusive community.
