Divergent Drop-In

Join us for an evening of connection for self-identified neurodivergent folks (ages 18+).

Divergent Drop-In is a community-based, low-pressure program designed to create a welcoming space where neurodivergent adults can come together to connect, play, and feel a sense of belonging.  

• When: Tuesday, March 10, 2025
• Time: 5:00-7:00pm
• Where: 3292 E Broadway (Group Programming Space)
• Cost: Pay-what-you-can by donation (suggested $5 to $25)

Many neurodivergent people experience barriers to participation in community activities, including sensory overload, social expectations, rigid rules, or pressure to “fit in.”  

Divergent Drop-In responds to these gaps, offering a flexible, choice-based environment where participants can engage at their own pace, opt in or out of activities, and interact in ways that feel safe and authentic to them.

Bring your own project, play a board game, or work on a mini art project! All materials provided, and all skill levels are welcome.

Come as you are: Masking is not expected; stimming, movement, or using comfort items are all welcome.

No pressure to perform or socialize: You can chat, listen, engage, focus quietly on your project, or take breaks whenever you like.

Sensory tools and comfort supports are encouraged: Fidgets, noise-cancelling headphones, weighted items, etc. We have sensory toolkits available for use.

Lighting and sound will be soft and adjustable where possible: A quiet space will be available if you need a break from stimulation or social interaction.

You are welcome to bring snacks.
