At RFK Community Alliance, we believe growth and hope take time, care, and unwavering support. Every day at our special education schools throughout the state, we witness incredible stories of perseverance and transformation—stories like Gianni’s.

Gianni and his family came to us when he was in the second grade, and traditional classrooms could not meet his needs. One staff member recently shared:

“Gianni is harvesting the spoils of the work he fostered over this time at RFK [Community Alliance]. We all have our personal marathons for growth, and this is only one story that this school [DFPS] has witnessed bloom.”

His journey is a powerful reminder that growth doesn’t happen overnight. It takes a community - people like you - who believe in creating opportunities for every child to be connected, capable, and healthy.

As we close the year, we are working to raise $100,000 by December 31st to ensure every person who turns to us- whether they are a child, young adult, or adult - receives the care they need.

We were honored to stand alongside Dianne Walsh as she received Worcester Business Journal's Mental Health Provider of the Year 2025 award at the Champions of Health Care event.

Dianne’s leadership and dedication have transformed access to trauma-informed care for thousands across Massachusetts. Last night was a powerful reminder of the impact one person can make when they lead with heart, vision, and compassion.

We couldn’t be prouder to celebrate this well-deserved recognition! 💙

Fifty years ago, IDEA changed what was possible for children and families. On this International Day of People with Disabilities, we celebrate that legacy—and the educators, clinicians, and families who make it real every day.

At RFK Community Alliance, we believe inclusion changes lives. And we’re committed to making that promise last—through education, adult services, and community supports.
