SUPPORT MINDS OF LIGHT

Help Neurodivergent Adults Learn, Connect, and Thrive

Your support helps us build a stronger community for neurodivergent adults.

Minds of Light provides social-emotional skills training, coaching, workshops, community, and resources designed for neurodivergent adults ages 18 to 100. Your generosity helps us continue developing programs, expand access to support, and create opportunities for adults to build confidence, connection, independence, and emotional skills.

Whether you give once or support us each month, every contribution helps us move our mission forward.

What We Offer

Minds of Light helps adults on the autism spectrum and other neurodivergent individuals gain independence, confidence, and meaningful employment through emotional intelligence education, coaching, and real-world skill building.

LIGHT Program

The full 20-module LIGHT curriculum in a small group. Choose from three versions of the program, so you can learn at the pace and level that works best for you.

Meetups / Community Events

Relaxed, low-pressure gatherings for neurodivergent adults to connect, practice social skills in real-world settings, and build friendships that support each other. Some events are just for fun, like bowling and other activities. Others are workshops where you can learn something new. You don’t need to be in a program to join. Online and in person.

Volunteer

Help us grow. We’re looking for volunteers in administrative support, fundraising, community outreach, and program leadership. Orientation and ongoing support provided.

Join a community that celebrates neurodiversity, teaches emotional intelligence, and empowers you to thrive.

At Minds of Light, you’ll find friends who understand, coaches who inspire, and experiences that help you grow.

Together, we celebrate neurodiversity, learn emotional-intelligence skills, and create memories that make life a little lighter.

We can’t wait to meet you!

“Empowering autistic and neurodivergent individuals to thrive through emotional intelligence, inclusion, and community connection.”

— The Minds of Light Mission

LIGHT Program

Through our LIGHT program, members receive:

  • Individual Coaching: One-on-one support to help you manage emotions, advocate for yourself, build strong relationships, and grow more confident at work and in everyday life.

  • Small Group Workshops: Learning together about communication, teamwork, and leadership.

  • Peer-Led or Organization-Led Meetups: Safe, relaxed places to practice social and work skills in real-world settings.

  • App Learning Tools: Practice emotional skills anytime with the FeelWise app. Download it free from the Apple App Store or Google Play. Search “FeelWise app.”

Together, we’re building a world where neurodivergent adults lead, create, and shine.

FeelWise is a separate company. Minds of Light uses FeelWise’s app and physical products as part of our programming.

Social skills, built on emotional intelligence

Everything at Minds of Light starts with emotions. Participants learn to recognize and regulate what they feel using the FeelWise method, then build outward: empathetic communication, how to make a friend, how to sustain a relationship. Emotional awareness is the foundation; social skill is what it makes possible.
