Brewing Coffee, Community and Inclusivity
The Nest positively impacts the lives of neurodiverse young adults with autism, intellectual/developmental disabilities, and related disorders by nurturing their unique skills, strengths, and preferences.
The Nest takes the lead in providing authentic and enriching employment and social opportunities for neurodiverse young adults as well as offers support for their families. Through education and empowerment programming, The Nest increases public awareness and acceptance to ensure that neurodiverse young adults are seen and valued.
We feel confident that the combination of our unique topic offerings and our focus on creating a sensory-friendly, alcohol-free and open/affirming space creates an environment where young adults can thrive. Some of our offerings include Trivia, Board Games, Art, Cooking, Pokémon, Karaoke, Open Mic and more. Join us! Click the button below to see our offerings on our MeetUp page.
The Nest is a place where young adults with disabilities gain work experience and confidence in a setting that is grounded in acceptance and support. It is also a place where our community gathers to see for themselves that young adults with disabilities are valuable and productive members of our community. We currently have already helped over 58 young adults with disabilities begin their work journey at The Nest!
The Nest Coffee House, a program of A Little Compassion Inc., is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to changing the lives of young adults with disabilities. At The Nest we understand that finding your place in the world can be tough– especially during the formative young adult years – and it is even tougher for a young adult with autism, an intellectual or developmental disability, or who is neurodiverse. ALC has set out to make that journey smoother by creating employment and social opportunities for these young adults in our midst who need an opportunity to shine.
