WHO WE ARE
The Inspired Community Project, Inc was founded under the idea that special education instruction, resources and career opportunities should be equally accessible across all people, communities, and boroughs. New York City is one of the most diverse cities in the world with the most segregated and inequitable education systems in the country.
As educators our mission is to create lifelong learners. We teach our children how to learn, empower our families to be fierce advocates, and support community members to become the certified professionals that the community needs. Through high quality training, hands-on support and a people-first focus, we are creating a sustainable foundation for future generations within the special education community.
Our vision is equitable access to special education services and resources. We believe that empowering and fostering professionals and advocates in the community will support and serve its youngest members.
With equity, advocacy, and empowerment at our core, driving all of our decision-making, focusing our course, we know that a more equitable special education system in New York City is possible.

Fundraising Goals & Objectives
Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
We are looking to build community support by creating a TOP Donor model. “Triple Our Pledge” (TOP) model asks individuals not to contribute more of their money, but to engage two of their friends or family members to match their contributions. We want to engage more community members (and raise more money). We are looking to engage only corporate sponsors that share our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
