About Us
EMPOWERING adults with special needs!!!
Illuminate Heart Inc., is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that was established in 2012 by four teachers who love to work with adults with special needs. We have the dream of sharing our love and happiness with young people with special needs. Recognizing that there is a need for these young adults after they graduate from high school, we decided to create an alternative to provide care and social activities to make their lives happy and productive.
We offer our programs in collaboration with the city of Pembroke Pines, Florida within the Carl Shechter Southwest Focal Point Community Center.
Our ideal project consists of three phases:
Phase 1: providing life skills and social interaction with peers,
Phase 2: developing work skills to provide income-earning opportunities, and
Phase 3: building group homes to nurture independence.
Currently we are developing phase # 1 of our ideal project.
