Welcome to Variety!

We’re devoted to enriching the lives of children and young adults with disabilities and empowering them to navigate the world around them. 

We welcome you with open arms – and open hearts – to join us on our magical 77-acre campus and at our Philadelphia partner sites. Come see how our year-round social, educational, and vocational programs nurture independence and self-confidence, and prepare our wonderful Variety kids for life.

Our Programs

Our programs encourage children and youth, ages 5-24, to explore, learn and grow at their own pace, in an environment as unique and as special as they are.

VarietyWorks

VarietyWorks was created to provide individuals with disabilities access to choices in type, level, and experiences related to employment.

A Whole New World Campaign

While our history is rich, we believe what lies ahead is even brighter. We are embarking on a 5-year, unprecedented fundraising endeavor to fully realize the potential of our beautiful campus and to plan for our future.
