Organizations Filed Purposes: GOOD FRIEND'S MISSION IS TO CREATE AUTISM AWARENESS, TEACH ACCEPTANCE OF DIFFERENCES, AND FOSTER EMPATHY FOR INDIVIDUAL'S ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM. WE USE OUR ORIGINAL SHORT FILMS AND PROPRIETARY CURRICULUM, TO ESTABLISH A CULTURE OF ACCEPTANCE IN SCHOOLS AND BEYOND.

SIBSHOPS GOOD FRIEND'S SIBSHOPS ENGAGED A COMBINATION OF 21 UNIQUE 8-13 YEAR-OLDS, AND INCREASE OF 40% OVER THE PREVIOUS SEASON. LEAD BY OUR 2 FIRST GENERATION TRAINED FACILITATORS, THERE ARE ALSO AT LEAST 2 JUNIOR LEADS TO HELP AT EACH OF THE 8 EVENTS (1 WORKSHOP WAS CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19). JUNIOR LEADS ARE PAST PARTICIPANTS WHO'VE AGED OUT OF THE PROGRAM, BUT WISH TO STAY ON AND HELP. THE PARTICIPANTS HAVE SIBLINGS WITH BRAIN-BASED DISABILITIES SUCH AS AUTISM. ENJOYING THE ACTIVITIES AND CRAFTS PLANNED BY THE FACILITATORS CREATES A SAFE SPACE FOR THESE CHILDREN TO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES AS "SUPER SIBLINGS", WHICH RESULTS IN A CLOSE-KNIT TRIBE THAT CANNOT BE REPLICATED THROUGH OTHER SOCIAL EXPERIENCES.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY GOOD FRIEND'S GENERAL ASSEMBLIESENGAGED 1,462 K-8TH GRADE STUDENTS DURING 11 SERVICES, A DECREASE OF 22% OVER THE PREVIOUS SEASON.
