This program is designed to create a community where students feel a sense of belonging and are accepting of everybody’s differences in order to foster authentic inclusion. This program benefits parents, teachers, and school communities by creating a more socially inclusive school environment. Student participants should fall into one of three groups:
Students with a disability or learning difference - These participants develop vital social skills, empathy, and increased self-esteem as they experience success and recognition for their abilities. 
Students with social or general anxiety - These participants benefit from a supporting environment where they can gradually build confidence, make friends, and feel more comfortable engaging in social activities. 
Students who are interested in learning more about others and forging connections - These participants benefit by gaining increased empathy and understanding, learning valuable skills for effective communication, developing an appreciation for diversity, and often having the opportunity to emerge as leaders and advocates for inclusiveness in their communities.
