Background and purpose
The Walk With Me event began in 2012 when a group of four high school freshmen organized support for the Miami Learning Experience School. The event typically draws more than 1,000 participants each year and has raised upwards of $40,000. Funds have supported new technology, after-school programs, and the creation of a dedicated walking path. The event engages Student Ambassadors from more than ten schools and emphasizes community building and awareness for students and adults with special needs. The stated mission is to create an atmosphere of support for people with special needs by maximizing community building and spreading awareness. The stated vision is for wider school participation and increased recognition as an event that creates meaningful awareness and support for those students and their families.
