Bringing People Together, One Experience at a Time
The Social Connection is a welcoming program designed to foster genuine connections through engaging events, creative workshops, and community-building activities for people with all abilities. We celebrate inclusivity and offer a fun, judgment-free environment where everyone can connect, grow, and thrive.
2026 Tahoe Trip
Our 2026 Tahoe trip was an absolute blast! Members learned how to ski and snowboard, challenged themselves on the slopes, and soaked up all the magic that the snow has to offer. From first runs and big smiles to cozy moments and shared laughter, it was an unforgettable experience filled with confidence-building, community, and pure winter fun. We’re so proud of everyone for trying something new and supporting one another every step of the way. Click the button below to view or download photos from the trip.
2025 Impact Awards
In 2025, The Social Connection celebrated a year defined by growth, courage, and meaningful achievements. This year, we proudly celebrated members who completed college semesters, achieved internship milestones, strengthened independent living skills, and showed up consistently for themselves and one another. We gathered for an afternoon filled with good food, meaningful moments, and even better company—honoring progress big and small.

SWEET SPECTRUM CO.
✨A mobile food truck where neurodivergent adults shine✨
Your investment in Sweet Spectrum Co.—a mobile food truck run by neurodivergent adults—creates opportunities that change lives far beyond the plate!
Sweet Spectrum Co. is more than a food truck. It’s a rolling classroom, a workplace, and a stage where young adults with developmental differences learn real-world job skills, earn income, and gain the confidence to take their place in the workforce. In a world where nearly 85% of neurodivergent adults remain unemployed, Sweet Spectrum Co. proves what’s possible when inclusion meets innovation.
Now we’re raising $25,000 to bring the Sweet Spectrum truck to life fully. This investment covers the cost of truck outfitting, commercial kitchen equipment, permits, and the start-up supplies needed to roll out our vision. With your help, this truck will become a lasting hub of opportunity, traveling to schools, community events, and local businesses—bringing both treats and training wherever it goes.
Your support makes all the difference. By donating, you’re not just funding a food truck—you’re investing in a future where neurodivergent adults are visible, celebrated, and equipped for success. Every contribution fuels stability, growth, and new possibilities for our team. Together, let’s put Sweet Spectrum Co. on the road and create a brighter future where all abilities thrive.
