This month's employer spotlight is on Only Make Believe! Only Make Believe is a non-profit arts organization that creates and performs interactive theatre for children in hospitals, care facilities, and special education programs. Only Make Believe joined us this summer as a first-time employer partner, and they have shown up for us in ways that have created lasting impact with our interns. BroadFutures participant, Jamie, interned at Only Make Believe this summer, and their staff joined us during our Friday program sessions to teach a series of workshops recontextualizing the core principles of Only Make Believe for young folks experiencing a professional setting. Tamela Aldridge, Executive Director of Only Make Believe shared with us her thoughts on our budding partnership and how our two missions align. Swipe to read what she shared! #BroadFutures #OnlyMakeBelieve #ArtTherapy #Theatre #Neurodiversity #StressManagement #CareerReadiness

September is National Deaf Awareness Month—a time to celebrate the diverse Deaf community while raising awareness about the importance of inclusion for all. This month, let's amplify the voices that too often go unheard and recognize the unique experiences of every individual. Disability isn't one-size-fits-all, and neither is our commitment to representation. Together, we can build a world where everyone is seen, heard, and valued. #DeafAwareness #InclusionMatters #DisabilityDiversity #BroadFutures #Neurodiversity
