James Adams Post 376 was chartered in Van Alstyne Texas in 1922. The Legionnaires currently meet on the second Saturday of every month at 9am. Very nice hall with adjoining dining area, kitchen, back porch, and a great bar.
Cub Scout Pack 6 has operated continuously since 1947, providing the youth of Van Alstyne with opportunities for outdoor activities, projects, sports, academics and more in a fun and exciting program that prepares youth to make ethical and moral choices.
Cub Scouts is great for all kids who are entering Kindergarten through 5th grade. In 5th grade, they transition to a Scouts BSA Troop (here in VA, that’s usually Troop 44 or Girl Troop 44).
CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Grayson County is a non-profit organization of volunteer advocates who speak up on behalf of abused and neglected children.
CASA volunteers are community members working together to support children and families in the foster care system.
CASA volunteers come from different backgrounds, neighborhoods, and communities, just like the kids they help. All CASA volunteers are carefully screened, well-trained, and supervised by professionals. Our advocates are committed to making a difference for children and their families who might otherwise slip through the cracks in an overburdened foster care system.

MORE THAN A COFFEE HOUSE
We are more than a coffee house.
More than a store.
More than a workplace
Or a place to create.
Inkorporated will be a place where we learn from mistakes and loss and we celebrate diversity and inclusion, youth, and humanity.
We are a gathering place that will turn into a human rights movement.
Ink Coffee & Crumbs
A mobile unit that will provide more job opportunities and recognition across events across North Texas.
Ink Coffee & Creatives
The desired destination for young adults in our community. We will provide exceptional coffee, yummy snacks, comfortable work spaces, creative supplies, and good music (sometimes quiet, sometimes not) all in the same space and invite everyone to stay a while.
Ink Coffee & Community
Establish social groups for people of all ages to create, and learn more about inclusion, disability rights, advocacy, and the importance of social diversity.
Ink Coffee & Connections
Provide training in these various roles and support employers who hire members of the Inkorporated Community.

Continued growth opportunities for individuals seeking to become self-advocates and learn more about inclusion, disability rights, advocacy, and the importance of social diversity.
Mission
We are a registered 501c3 organization created to model, promote and provide inclusive opportunities for purposeful employment, meaningful relationships, creative expression, and community living for individuals of ALL abilities. Our first target group is the 16-23 year old because we want to be their first and most memorable job experience thereby shaping their paradigm for inclusion.
Goals
We believe that an increase in inclusive activities for this demographic will lead to adults who are more intentional in voting, purchasing, hiring, creating public policy, and building community health in general.
From McKinney, Texas, a city that is unique by nature, we will start a grassroots movement that finds and celebrates the naturally unique abilities, talents, and interests of each person who walks through the doors of the Inkorporated Community.
