Heads Up for Inclusion is a charitable organization that has been focused on providing inclusion programs for youth facing barriers to inclusion since 2001. We are located in Peterborough, and oversee a program called Amigos in local area elementary and high schools,
as well as in the community. The Amigos program pairs Amigos – youth facing barriers to inclusion with a special emphasis on those with developmental and physical barriers, with Connectors – youth who are well connected and have a passion for helping others. Amigo pairs meet to participate in activities, games, skills development and foster meaningful friendships. Heads Up for Inclusion also provides inclusion workshops to youth and community members with a goal to increase awareness about the positive impact of inclusion.
