It’s that time again! April will be here before we know it and it’s time to start recruiting for the Accessible Faith Initiative! We would love for you to join us in spreading autism awareness!
Every year in April, we encourage places of worship to do at least one activity for Autism Awareness Month that promotes awareness, acceptance and inclusion. We are especially thankful for the 35 churches that have participated in years past! This will be our SIXTH year hosting this event and we are so excited to continue this important work!
You might be thinking, that sounds great, but how do I participate? Here’s how:
Ways to Participate
- Choose an activity that can be done in person or virtually at your place of worship. Need help choosing ideas? No problem! We have a list of activities that you can choose from that best fit the needs of your place of worship.
- Get approval from leadership to participate.
