Volunteer Spotlight: Joseph
What started as a way to spend more time with his uncle turned into something so much more. Joseph first joined us as a volunteer at summer camp last year—and he hasn’t missed a camp since! Whether it’s bonding with his uncle, connecting with other clients, or teaming up with staff and volunteers, Joseph brings heart, humor, and positivity to every moment. We’re so lucky to have him in the ICAN fam.
Inspired by Joseph’s story? Interested in learning more about being an ICAN volunteer?

🎧🕺 Our friends from Social Program have been practicing their best dance moves to get ready for the ultimate Silent Disco—and let’s just say… the vibes are immaculate.
Huge shoutout to @silentevents for partnering with us to make this dance party extra epic! We can’t wait to throw on the headphones and light up the dance floor together. 💃🔥

What started as a casual snap of our friend Pam next to a fire hydrant quickly turned into a full-on photoshoot 🤩📸 Maybe it was the cookie sugar rush… but honestly, this is what we love about ICAN. Our clients and coaches have the freedom to create and capture joyful moments wherever we go—whether we’re exploring somewhere magical or just hyping up a cool fire hydrant in Downtown Fullerton.

What started as a simple nature hike turned into a full-blown movie adventure 🎬🍃
Our Hiking Club explored Bronson Canyon, a spot that’s been featured in over 50 films—including the original Batman series! From scenic views to cinematic history, this LA hike had it all.

Wanted to give a special shoutout to Riley who has shown incredible leadership in Cooking Club, offering guidance to peers and stepping in to help before the coach. His patience and initiative make him a true role model! Keep up the great work Riley!
