Announcing the
2008 "KIC-Start" Award
We believe the best way to promote inclusion is
to recognize those who are actively committed to
doing it well. Pathways’ Lead Mentors have
designed an awards program called “Kids Inspire
Change” or the “KIC-Start” Award. Communities
and schools in New Jersey that have developed
programs that include children with special
needs are eligible to apply. Out of all the
applications we receive, two finalists will be
chosen by our panel of judges.
The first place
“KIC-Start” Award is a $2,000 grant that will go
to the finalist with the most innovative and
exemplary program(s) that best embodies
Pathways’ philosophy of the “children
teaching children” model. The runner-up
will receive a $500 grant. The Lead Mentors have
committed to raising the funds needed for the
“KIC-Start” Award program in hopes of calling on
other communities to take action and lead the
way toward including all children.
Details are
explained on the application forms.
Applicants must complete the information and return
it to Pathways postmarked by September
15, 2008. The winners will be
announced at our November 2008 conference.
