A social group for neurodiverse young adults 19 to 26. We create welcoming spaces for building friendships, trying new activities, and sharing experiences with people who truly understand.
Our Goal:
A place to connect, explore, or just hang out with others who get it. Provide an opportunity to make friends and have fun while building social connections and autonomy. This group has been created to support independence and growth.
Our Promise
We welcome, respect, and value all individuals, regardless of their background or identity.
Is This Group Right For Me?
Participants must be able to attend activities independently without supervision. Coordinators are there to help plan events and present opportunities and will not necessarily be at all events.
Our next event is Tuesday, July 21st when we will be heading to Canada's Wonderland for the day. We will leave from Georgetown at 10am and start our day at Wonderland at 11am. We will plan to head home around 7pm arriving back in Georgetown for 8pm. Please RSVP ASAP so we can plan for carpooling. Let us know if you will need a day pass or if you are a season's pass holder. We suggest looking into the food and drink pass. It can make accessing drinks and food easier and less expensive, depending on your appetite.
