Join Our Mission to Empower Autistic Communities

At Bridge2Autism Community,

Every step forward counts. Whether you’re an autistic individual, parent, student, first responder, or ally, your involvement can transform lives. Partner with us to advocate for neurodiversity, support underserved communities, and build our vision for a Bridge2Autism Ranch—a neuroaffirming hub with therapy animals, summer camps, game rooms, art studios, gardening, and cooking classes. Join our collaboration with GoNeuroPlay (@goneuroplay) to make a lasting impact.

Volunteer Opportunities:

Community Volunteers:

Lead advocacy workshops, host Tennessee events, or moderate our Discord server (@goneuroplay). Support rural families or non-English speakers with inclusive resources.

Internships:

Open to high school, college, or graduate students in psychology, education, or game design. Interns support our "Games for Impact" program, creating neuroaffirming content or testing FEMA-aligned games with GoNeuroPlay (@goneuroplay). Future ranch internships include animal care and camp leadership.

Work-Study Programs:

For students eligible for federal/state work-study, assist with outreach, event planning, or digital content (e.g., Vimeo videos, Medium blogs). Ranch-focused roles involve developing camp curricula or gardening programs.

Externships:

For professionals (e.g., therapists, first responders), short-term externships refine training games or lead emergency preparedness workshops. Contribute to ranch planning by designing therapy animal programs or incident command scenarios.

Success Story

Volunteer Story

Joining Bridge2Autism as a college intern changed my perspective. I helped design a game with GoNeuroPlay that taught autistic teens coping skills for emergencies. Seeing their confidence grow was incredible.
