CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A new nonprofit has made its way to the Coastal Bend and we had a chance to meet them this morning on Domingo Live!
Joaquin in2 Inclusion centers on empowerment and advocacy for people with disabilities.
Joaquin in2 Inclusion launched earlier this year and is looking to extend it's reach from it's Austin headquarters to Corpus Christi, where they say resources for people with disabilities are more limited.
"All around Texas, I kinda saw a lot of schools where kids with special needs were just treated not very well. So our whole thing is we're just trying to promote more inclusive classrooms, better educational experiences for kids but we're also here to help the community however we can," founder of Joaquin in2 Inclusion, Joaquin Rangel said.
If you are interested in supporting their mission, they're having a benefit concert at the House of Rock this Friday night at 6 p.m.
