Program Description

Workflow provides an inclusive, affirming, and neurodivergence-aware space, where youth become part of a supportive network of neurodivergent individuals while gaining tools and strategies to confidently navigate professional environments. We acknowledge, support, accept, discuss, and celebrate neurodiversity. Youth should feel comfortable hearing discussions about neurodivergence.
Blending structured sessions with self-paced activities, youth will build an employment portfolio that may include a resume, skills inventory, or other self-representational tools. Youth are invited to participate in ways that feel comfortable with no expectation to be social, perform, or meet conventional standards of engagement. With the support of instructors, youth can focus on what feels most meaningful and useful to them.

Frequently Asked Questions

All materials needed for the program will be provided. You are welcome to bring a device (e.g., a laptop or tablet) that you are comfortable using.

Instructors are available to adapt activities and provide assistance based on your learning style and pace. You will have opportunities for both group and individual support.

The sessions are led by instructors experienced in career development and supporting neurodivergent youth. They provide both structured guidance and one-to-one support.

An employment portfolio is a collection of information and tools that represent your strengths, skills, and experiences. This may include a resume, skills inventory, or other materials that help you prepare for work or volunteer opportunities.

That is completely okay. Participation is flexible—you can choose the activities that feel comfortable for you. There is no pressure to be social or perform.

Each group has a maximum of six participants, which helps create a supportive and inclusive learning environment.
