Program for Intellectual Empowerment - PIE

BACC Non-profit Partner of the Year Nominee Program for Intellectual Empowerment - PIE

Program for Intellectual Empowerment - Since 2018, Pauline and her team at the Program for Intellectual Empowerment (PIE) have been doing so much more than just providing a service; they’ve been building a bridge. By creating a warm, creative space where individuals with autism and developmental disabilities can truly be themselves, Pauline has turned "inclusion" from a buzzword into a reality. Whether she is championing her students in the classroom or advocating for a more empathetic community at large, her approach focuses on what people can do, fostering self-expression and connection in a way that helps everyone thrive. PIE deserves to be Nonprofit of the Year because Pauline doesn’t just fill a gap in support; she creates a village where neurodivergent and neurotypical neighbors learn, grow, and celebrate one another side-by-side.
