POW! (Power Of We!) is a community organization with inclusive, free, volunteer-run programs for people of all abilities, backgrounds and ages that are packed with creativity, friends and fun. Since 2019, we’ve been offering enrichment programs in Brooklyn and on Zoom. Inclusive soccer classes (thank you to our generous sponsor, Super Soccer Stars), dance and dance therapy, Brain Gymnastics, music, interactive storytime, and arts & crafts is just a sample of what we’ve offered in the past and plan to offer in the future. We’ve recently begun to partner with the Elementary Inclusive Program at Columbia University’s Teachers College to offer tutoring--something we’re very excited about! We focus on inclusion, developing strong friendships and decreasing the fear of the unknown. Our programs seek to improve listening skills, general social skills, gross & fine motor skills, muscle memory, speech and language development as well as independence and self advocacy. Our goal is to welcome more and more individuals and families, and to cater to everyone’s needs and wishes.

We are in the process of incorporating as a 501(c)3, and are on track to achieve that status by Spring 2022. We need funds to achieve this, and to continue offering our programs free of charge, and to add more programs in the future.
