The Next Generation of Service is Here!

A few years ago, Autism Empowerment hosted a nationally award-winning fun volunteerism initiative called the Autism Serves Kids Care Club. During the pandemic, our club had to close down, but recently, one of our original founding members, Sumi Dyment, came to us with a plan to evolve the group into something new that still focused on helping others but was designed for a wider age range of volunteers.

Are you or someone you know a neurodivergent teen, young adult, or someone with a disability? Would you like to give back to our community while making friends and learning new skills? Whether you’re on the autism spectrum, neurodivergent, or simply want to provide service to others, you are invited to Join our NEW Inclusive Volunteerism Program, Autism Serves – Helping Hands

Who Can Join?

Teens 13+ and young adults of all ability levels

Family members, siblings, and peer mentors who want to volunteer.

Please note that Autism Serves – Helping Hands is not a drop-off or respite care program. If a participant is under 18 or is an adult who requires assistance to participate in volunteer activities, a parent, caregiver, or approved adult attendee must stay on-site during the event. We strive to inform participants in advance about any potential sensory factors at volunteer events, allowing you to determine whether a particular service project is a good fit for you or your family member.
