Chance's speak up program empowers local teens--including those at risk and on The autism spectrum--to find their voices and share their unique stories. By giving them The opportunity to speak, we gain The Chance to listen, building understanding that leads to greater empathy. Through this program, we strive to create a more connected, compassionate, and creative community. Thanks to The generosity of our sponsors, all participants receive full scholarships.
