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! Their graduation is highlighted in this issue, and it’s a celebration that is well deserved! Throughout the summer, these talented young people worked across our programs with energy, compassion, and fresh ideas. Our Annual Talent Show was a rousing success, and we are eternally grateful for their contributions.
I am also thrilled to announce that we have added four new members to our Board of Directors! Each of these leaders brings unique perspectives, skills, and lived experiences that will help guide Incompass at this critical moment in our growth.
