An NPO Providing Affordable & Accessible Services for Kids with Special Needs
Intention Forward Education Foundation was started by Greater Kansas City community members who found themselves thinking…
What if there was a dedicated space for belonging, fun, and socialization for kids with special needs?
What if it was led by highly trained educators and clinicians who are passionate about serving their community?
What if it was affordable and accessible?
In 2023, Intention Forward launched Intentional Time Summer Camp, the first part of programming to answer these what-if questions.
Intentional Time Summer Camp is IT, KC!
