About Us

Our Vision:

The Post 21 Club challenges long-held, limiting beliefs about adults on the Autism Spectrum, and believes in maximizing each individual’s potentials. Within each adult living with Autism there is an individual, with the same equally important rights, dreams, aspirations, and unique and valuable gifts to share with their communities and the world. Post 21 Club envisions an exciting new world for our population- one of empowerment and unlimited potentials! We believe that Adults with Autism have hidden strengths and fascinating personalities, and once tapped, they can enrich our world.

Our Mission:

Post 21 Club creates exciting new program choices by: providing leadership / facilitating communication between stakeholders / granting to and collaborating with innovative program providers.
