In this episode of Love Where You Live, we introduce ESP, Inc. (Extra Special People), an incredible nonprofit expanding into High Point, North Carolina—its first location outside of Georgia.
We’re joined by Laura Whitaker, CEO of ESP, and Jennifer Sims to share the story behind ESP and its mission to support individuals with special needs and their families through inclusive programs and meaningful community experiences. Jennifer’s personal journey—from being part of ESP in Georgia to helping bring it to High Point—offers a powerful look at the impact this organization has on families.
Beyond serving individuals with special needs, ESP also creates a meaningful experience for its volunteers—offering opportunities for connection, growth, and a deeper understanding of themselves and others. It’s a place where community is built on empathy, purpose, and genuine relationships.
This conversation highlights advocacy, connection, and JOY! ESP’s arrival in High Point is something truly special, and we’re honored to share their story.
