What GRIT offers the Community

The GRIT Program's success strengthens the community. Through the provision of exemplary early childhood programs and parent leadership training, the community gains strong leaders who bring insight, knowledge and expertise to their communities, schools, and workplaces.

GRIT guides community development through modeling a just and democratic society for all. The focus on family capacity building and community inclusion contributes to the creation of neighborhoods that embrace inclusive community living for all individuals with diverse abilities.

The work of GRIT families and staff has significantly influenced the direction of public education in support of inclusive school experiences.
