About Autism Angels

Our founder, a high school student, was deeply affected after witnessing the death of a close friend who had autism. That experience opened their eyes to how often children with autism are overlooked, misunderstood, or unsupported. Rather than stay silent, they decided to take action.

What started as one student's mission to honor a lost friend has grown into a youth-led volunteer organization committed to uplifting the lives of children with autism. We believe every child deserves joy, opportunity, and connection — and that the power of youth can create real, lasting impact.
