The mission of SNACK*, a 501c3 not-for-profit organization, is to enrich the lives of children, teens, and young adults by providing diverse classes and activities designed so everyone has the opportunity to make progress at their own pace. We offer opportunities to make friends, have fun, learn skills, work and participate in activities that ensure participant well-being so they may lead more independent, purposeful lives. From humble beginnings as an after-school program for a half-dozen children, we have seen incredible growth and our programming has expanded. SNACK* was founded by a family with two sons - one with severe autism and one typically developing - with the goal to create a place where they could both feel welcome and thrive.
