Happy April!
As we look ahead to the summer months, our team has been preparing for an exciting season of growth at J13 Community.
Thanks to the continued support of families, donors, and community partners, our Summer Program will expand from 3 to 5 days per week and from 8 to 9 program weeks, adding 21 additional program days and more than 40 additional weekly program spots this summer. To support this growth, we have added another program van and several new Community Coaches and volunteers who have undergone “spring training” to support and, most importantly, build trusting relationships with our Community Members.
Throughout the summer, our Community Members will explore Austin together through recreation, volunteer opportunities, and shared adventures that build confidence, friendships, and lasting memories.
Every additional program day, every new staff member or volunteer, and every mile driven represents something bigger than growth. It means more families supported, more friendships formed, and more opportunities for adults with complex special needs to live full and meaningful lives in the community.
With gratitude,
The J13 Team
