Events and Programs
We recognize that community engagement looks different for everyone. Rather than creating a one-size-fits-all experience, we are developing programs with varying ways to participate, helping everyone feel comfortable, supported, and successful.
Our Event System
Open Exploration Events
Guided Activities
Social Connections
Relaxed, sensory-friendly experiences with little expectation for structured participation. Individuals are encouraged to engage at their own pace. Examples:
Bubble parties
Park meetups
Live music
Structured events centered around a shared activity or goal while still allowing flexibility and support. Examples:
Bingo
Arts and crafts
Games
Opportunities for teens and adults to build friendships, practice social skills, and connect with peers in a supportive environment. Examples:
Cafe meetups
Game nights
Community outings
Hobby clubs
