Welcome, We're Glad You're Here!

​At the heart of our mission is the belief that every individual with Autism Spectrum Disorder deserves the opportunity to forge lasting friendships and discover a circle of unwavering support.​​

Who We Are

Erin’s Hope for Friends is on a mission to create lasting relationships through joyful interactions for autism spectrum teens and young adults. We help develop these relationships through our e’s Club program, a social program for teens and young adults on the spectrum designed to help them build and foster friendships. e’s Club has impacted more than 1500 individuals since we opened our doors in 2016 and continues to experience tremendous growth.

e's Club

Erin’s Hope for Friends bridges the gap for socially challenged teens and young adults by providing a safe place for joyful interactions. e’s Club, a service of Erin’s Hope for Friends, is the only center of its kind, highly focused on facilitating positive social interactions and developing friendships for teens and young adults on the spectrum. Our members attend both our in-person locations and our virtual sessions to have fun and develop meaningful friendships in a safe and encouraging environment. Our teen and young adult programs are facilitated by qualified staff and supported by our volunteers.
