The Overcomers Fireside Chat & Award Series

The Overcomers Series is more than an event, it is an investment in the future of students with disabilities.

Your gift helps The Transition Academy provide career readiness programs, workplace experiences, mentoring, and life skills that prepare students for meaningful employment and independent living.

Every contribution, regardless of size, helps expand opportunities for the young people and families we serve.

In 2026, over 100 high school youth with disabilities received in-person workforce development coaching, career pathway exploration, and today you can help build Kansas City’s workforce for our future through your Leadership as a 2027 Sponsor.
