There are many meaningful ways to support the SSNYcares mission. Every act of kindness — every dollar, every volunteer hour, every shared story — creates ripples that change lives.

Volunteers Are Our Heartbeat

SSNYcares is community-driven. Every volunteer makes a real and lasting difference.

  • Community outreach and awareness events
  • Fundraising and event planning volunteers
  • Professional skills (legal, design, finance, etc.)

Raise Your Voice

Awareness creates change. Every story shared is a life that someone understands just a little bit better.

  • Share SSNYcares stories on social media
  • Host an awareness event in your community
  • Speak to your employer about supporting SSNYcares
  • Educate friends and family about Autism
  • Write to local representatives about disability services
