Award Winning Foundation!
- 2011 Massachusetts Recreation and Park Association Program Outreach Award
- Co-Founders named 2009 Scituate Citizens of the Year
- 2008 Massachusetts Community Partnership Award from the Federation for Children with Special Needs
The Scituate CORSE Foundation (Community of Resources for Special Education), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was established in February of 2006 by a group of dedicated parents and educators to raise funds to provide the highest quality educational, social and recreational community experiences so children with special needs can reach their full potential. Through fundraising activities, the Foundation is able to allocate funds for a wide range of supplemental resources that will benefit children, parents and educators within our community.

CORSE Reflects on 2012: Recognizing our Special Community that makes this all happen...
For over six years, CORSE has offered a variety of integrated social, academic and recreational programs that have customized staffing ratios and expertise so children with special needs can participate fully in their community. In addition, CORSE has funded a variety of technology, equipment, scholarships, professional development, parent training and student services such as Music Therapy (ECC, PLC/ILC and Gates). This year, 2012 broke all records with CORSE offering far more programs than ever before and community supporters showing record turn-outs at fundraising events! To highlight a few accomplishments:
- Largest Board of Directors to date at 14 representing parents of children with special needs, parents who have all typically developing children, SPS and Recreation staff
- Video documentary, Community Reflections on the Impact of C.O.R.S.E., developed - to see the video, view on our home page by clicking here.
- Record-breaking summer programming cycle for CORSE: All Stars Maritime Adventures through AccesSport America, Lose the Training Wheels, All Stars Summer Camp, All Stars Teen Extreme, Booth Hill Farm Therapeutic Riding and Funtastics gymnastics clinics; in addition to the winter and fall social and academic programs we sponsor with Scituate Public Schools, a third summer cycle was just added
- Our "Let's Go" family community events exploded with many new exciting additions such as Let's Go Skating assisted by the SPS Girls Hockey Team, Sand's End with performing music teacher Peter Mundt, Patriots Training Camp, R&C Hayride, Mill Wharf Cinema, etc.
- Sold-out Gala evening with 250 guests! Extremely successful golf tournament! Wonderful North Pole Express Experience thanks to our partners on SHORE!
- Sports programs thrived with our standard favorites of basketball (thanks SPS Boys Basketball team!), soccer, karate, running, Funtastics gymnastics, Xplosion Dance Center classes and the addition of a continually sold-out swimming program through Lauren McGonagle at Health Trax!!
- Peer mentoring greatly expanded with increased enrollment in Best Buddies, the phenomenal popularity of the Gates RAP (Respect All People) training and activity program, and our wonderful SPS students, (grades 6-8) who serve as "official" peer mentors in our after-school social programs for our younger students
Of course, none of this would be possible without our many generous donors and devoted volunteers. We also commend the SPS and Scituate Recreation program instructors, aides and counselors, who are so committed to providing the best programs possible for all our kids. We couldn't do it without you!
Our 2012 programming has been generously supported by grant funding received from CVS Caremark, the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism, the Evan Henry Foundation for Autism, Harold Brooks Foundation, The Mentor Network, Autism Speaks Baker Summer Camp Scholarship, Finish Line Youth Foundation, Boston Bruins Foundation, Macksamie Memoriam and Sprinkler Fitters Local Union 550 U.A. as well as our community fundraising supporters!

Thank you to the special community that we are privileged to live in!
Sincerely,
Tracy Johnston on behalf of our 2012 CORSE Board: Cassi Belmarsh, Lorraine Devin, Kristin Erickson, Suzanne Erwin, Mary Beth Fassnacht, Peter Gates, Natalie Jurgel, Tatianna Maraj, Gina McClellan, Jane McGovern, Bob McQuaid, Jennifer O'Neill, Carolyn Timmons
