Volunteers accompany small groups of school-aged children with autism and their trained behavioral coaches on outings into the community. Community ConNext’s volunteering program exists to provide first-hand experience with and support to youth with autism, while serving as a positive role model and friend. The gift of your time, friendship, hard work and encouragement engenders a sense of self and community engagement in our program participants. As they become familiar with you and you with them, the opportunities to promote inclusion and friendship only deepen.

Mission Statement
The mission of Community ConNext is to provide a multifaceted approach to community-wide autism inclusion, offering progressive integrated programs and applied learning experiences for individuals of all abilities.
Description
The Community ConNext program is a community-based, social behavior development and inclusion program for kids and teens diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. This program focuses on breaking down the skills involved in building reciprocal, meaningful relationships and friendships by working in a peer-rich environment in an effort to foster natural relationship building opportunities.
This program is run by an autism-specifically trained and educated, highly skilled Coaching Team led by a Team of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). The Team utilizes a variety of individual evidence-based practices that focus on teaching behavior self-management strategies and supporting social skill development to help our program participants more independently navigate and be actively included in their community.
