Teen in Residence:
Our Teen in Residence (TIR) program is totally unique!
This program allows Neurodivergent teens to work alongside a group facilitator, as a peer advocate in the younger groups. This is a paid position and the TIR gains specific employment experiences in a field they themselves are experts in.
Our TIRs are amazing self advocates and are challenged to embrace and celebrate their diagnosis. They also receive continued support from a facilitator/mentor.
Participants are selected by the Ausome Adventures team based on suitability.
