Mission

Our Mission

The mission of Yes She Can is to provide inclusive, community-based classes for all individuals of all abilities, including but not limited to those with autism, developmental disabilities, and other learning differences. Through structured, group-based experiences in integrated community settings, we support participants in building practical life skills, social connections, and foundational skills such as communication, teamwork, and responsibility. Our programs promote confidence, independence, and meaningful participation in integrated community settings while fostering personal growth and self-expression.

Yes She Can was founded to support the needs of women with autism who have struggled to find and maintain employment. Not only do women overall have a higher unemployment rate than men, but only 21% of autistic adults are employed. After ten years of successfully providing services for young women through our unique model, we have determined that all individuals can benefit from our program. We have broadened our services to be gender-neutral. We will continue to offer specific training programs for women because many trainees still request that option, but some programs will be gender-neutral.

As the Yes She Can programs have evolved, we are now offering a series of community-based classes. Each class provides hands-on opportunities for participants to engage in small group activities that promote the development of communication, teamwork, responsibility, and problem-solving skills while fostering independence and competence.
