AUTISM MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

The Autism Mentorship Program (A.M.P.) is a Not-For-Profit Organization founded to support youth with ASD in the community by leveraging the strengths of post-secondary student-athlete volunteers... We engage, recruit, train, and pair student-athletes with local youth who have ASD. Through weekly/bi-weekly one-on-one meetings, our program participants are able to experience new social situations and environments. A.M.P. also works with local sports organizations to create ASD-accessible and inclusive sporting events... Through these pairings, we provide a resource for families with children on the Autism Spectrum that helps relieve some of the challenges associated with caring for a child on the spectrum. A.M.P. empowers student-athletes to assist with the course of development of our participants through a safe, positive, and constructive relationship with invested and trained volunteers. As an organization founded by youth in support of youth, A.M.P. prioritizes awareness,..
