This month we’ve held three incredible photoshoots across our programs, and the results have us very excited. From capturing everyday moments to highlighting the welcoming spaces where our community thrives, these photoshoots were all about celebrating the people and places that make Incompass special, and we wanted to give you a sneak peak!
A heartfelt thank you to every individual and staff member who joined in, you filled each photo with smiles, laughter, and the spirit of “Leading with Heart.” Your participation and energy truly showed how you bring our shared spaces to life.
Take a look at some behind the scenes photos, we can’t wait to share more from amazing community we’re proud to be a part of.

Creativity was on full display at our Day Hab Art Show! Earlier this month the individuals in our program brought their incredible artwork to the shared gym, transforming the space into a gallery filled with talent and imagination. From detailed paintings to interactive pieces that transported us into new environments, and even an exhibit best experienced in the dark, every art piece told a unique story.
While the individuals we serve are always working toward their personal goals, this showcase was a beautiful reminder of their artistic gifts and passion for expression. Congratulations to all who shared their talents with us, your work is truly impressive!
As we close out another summer at Incompass, I can’t help but smile at all the wonderful moments we shared together as a community. From barbecues and beach outings to countless everyday acts of connection, our Care Champions created experiences that brought joy to the individuals we support. These memories remind us why our mission matters so deeply and why our culture is so core to our ability to deliver on that mission.
As the school year begins, that means our internship program has come to an end. So let’s take a moment to recognize and congratulate our Urban Youth Intern Class of 2025!

This summer’s Incompass Got Talent was another great day of music, poetry, and showmanship. Our Urban Youth Interns planned and hosted the show, bringing together individuals from our programs to share their talents. From guitar solos, to group songs and even some poetry, it’s become a summer favorite for all of us.
Thank you to our interns, Alijah, Erin, Jack, Charlotte, Chloe, Zumuriatu, and Kennedy, for organizing the event, and to every performer for sharing your talents to a packed crowd. One of our returning interns mentioned she had been looking forward to her second Incompass Got Talent — and this year was another one for the books!
