WHO WE SERVE

We serve 60–100 students each summer, including general education students, students on the autism spectrum, and gifted learners. The program is intentionally designed to meet diverse learning needs through inclusive, engaging, and high-impact instruction.

PROGRAM IMPACT

Students gain measurable improvements in literacy, increased academic confidence, and greater awareness of college and career opportunities. The institute is committed to helping students build a clear pathway to future success.

FUTURE EXPANSION & VISION

Aunt Joyce’s Kids is actively building toward a multi-phase expansion that will broaden access to specialized educational support. In the next 3–5 years, the organization will expand programming to include dedicated support for pregnant and parenting teens and students experiencing housing instability, ensuring these populations receive targeted academic and wraparound services.

While these expanded program areas are in development, the organization is committed to beginning supportive efforts now through partnerships, resources, and advocacy. This phased growth will ultimately support the transition to a fully independent school model, designed to meet the evolving needs of underserved student populations.
