expanding access
Activate Inclusion Programs
For many families, participating in everyday events isn’t simple—it requires extra planning, extra cost, and navigating spaces that weren’t designed with them in mind.
Activate Inclusion exists to change that.
By combining direct support, inclusive programs, and accessible infrastructure, we’re creating communities where young people with disabilities can fully participate—not just be accommodated.
activate inclusion days
Activate Inclusion Days are all about showing what’s possible when access is built in from the start, inviting young people and families to explore adaptive sports and recreation in a space designed for full participation, connection, and fun, from archery and dance to soccer and cycling, each experience created to build confidence, spark joy, and foster a true sense of belonging.
heart of variety grants
At the core of Variety Texas is the belief that every child deserves access to opportunity. Heart of Variety Grants offer direct financial support to families navigating disability-related expenses—bridging the gap where traditional systems fall short and opening the door to greater independence, confidence, and inclusion.
How activate inclusion works
Real change happens when everything works together
We believe access is not a luxury—it’s a civil right for every young person in Texas. And when we remove barriers, we open the door to so much more than just participation.
That’s why Activate Inclusion brings together direct support, inclusive programs, accessible infrastructure, and community awareness into one connected approach. Through Heart of Variety grants, we provide financial support to families—guided by lived experience—so real needs can be met without added stress or delay. Our events and camps are designed for full participation, creating space for young people with disabilities to try new things, build confidence, and experience moments of joy, connection, and autonomy.
At the same time, solutions like the Mobile Accessible Restroom make it possible for families to stay, engage, and fully be part of the experience—while public activations and storytelling help shift how communities understand and prioritize accessibility.
Because when everything works together, something powerful happens—young people aren’t just included, they’re able to show up fully, families feel supported, and communities begin to expect accessibility as the standard, not the exception.
In 2027, Variety Texas will become a signatory of the Disability Inclusion Pledge, committing to grant at least 30% of organizational revenue directly to children with disabilities and their families through Heart of Variety grants.
