Want to join us in supporting a good cause? We are raising money for our ASTra (Advocacy program) and your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500. Every little bit helps in reaching our goal of $5,000 for the month of October. Thank you for your support.
Our ASTra advocates have been hard at work to bring Educational Advocacy Services to Parents & Professionals throughout the state. Since February of 2019 we have served over 200 families,
professionals and community members.
With funding we could exponentially increase our impact. Presently our team can provide individualized 1:1 IEP advocacy services to roughly 20 families a year. We would love to reach 45 families during 2021.
Your donation to ASTra will allow us to serve more families in 2021.
On behalf of our entire organization we thank you for your support!
