Whether they are spearheading teen mentoring programs, advocating for students with specialneeds or disabilities, or addressing school absenteeism, their work and involvement is the key to helping our all of our children thrive in their schools and communities.
Specialneeds trusts are non-countable assets and will allow your relative to qualify for benefits and programs if their financial situation changes in the future.
