Mission

DC Peers' mission is to create social growth, connection, and learning opportunities that respect and affirm neurodiversity. In our free and low-cost programs for teens and adults, we bring neurodiverse groups together to socialize and to learn from each other about our differences, ourselves, and how autism and other neurological differences affect our interactions with each other. Our new drop-in community space is also offering a unique, neurodiversity-affirming "third place" to autistic and neurodivergent teens and adults.

Program accomplishments

  • Teen Programs: Despite losing 3 months to our move and the delay in building out our new space, DC Peers ran free and low-cost social, gaming, and arts programs for neurodivergent teens, including Middle and High School Social Meetups, online Discord and Minecraft gaming groups, One-Day Movie Making, RPG One-Shots, and the teen Art & Neurodiversity program in partnership with the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. Approximately 115 teens participated across 7 programs between September 2024 and June 2025. (See Schedule O, Statement 4.)
    Expenses $39,000
  • Adult Programs - Despite losing 3 months to our move and the delay in building out our new space, DC Peers was able to offer social, peer-support, and gaming programs for neurodivergent adults, including online support groups, Monday Game Nights, around-town social get-togethers, and two in-person meetups co-hosted with Best Buddies at American University. Approximately 175 adults participated across 12 programs. (See Schedule O, Statement 5.)
    Expenses $21,000
  • Community Space and Membership: DC Peers leased and built out a new community space in Washington, DC, opening in February 2025. The space hosts in-person programs, drop-in hours for members, and a Community Committee made up of folks DC Peers serves. A new membership program (free and paid tiers) gives folks access to drop in to make things, play, connect, or rest. Approximately 50 people became members and 50 used the space during the fiscal year. (See Schedule O, Statement 6.)
    Expenses $48,000
