Autism Partnership

The Autism Partnership pairs volunteers with a child with autism as a buddy for the year. The committee also runs “Awesome Possum” an after school drop in program for children with autism. The committee plans events to fundraise for the Autism Society of Ontario such as “Trevstock” and the annual 5K race.

Mission Statement
The Autism Partnership, working with Autism Ontario, aims to pair Queen’s students with families in the Kingston communities whose children are afflicted with autism. This buddy system provides friends for the children, opportunities for fun in a group setting, as well as a possible avenue in which to develop their skill-sets. The Autism Partnership also aims to fundraise and spread awareness for the cause, with the proceeds going towards Autism Ontario.

Goals

  • Increases awareness of Autism in the Queen’s community
  • To further promote research towards causes and treatment of ASDs.
  • Fundraising enables Autism Ontario to provide support for families registered with the society
  • Venue for students to express their passion and enthusiasm for contributing in a non-academic environment
  • Aim to provide a variety of child to volunteer interactions
