Participants must be neurodiverse students (ages 14 – 22) who are independent without 1:1 help, motivated to be around peers and make friends, and can control aggressive behavior impulses. Neurodiverse individuals are thinkers that have been diagnosed with autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and/or Dyspraxia.
Take the next steps towards new real-world adventures! Whether it’s making new friends, job shadowing, an internship or a first job, Summer Social Camps provide practical skills to enter the next phase of life with confidence.
The Summer Social Camps focus on pre-employment training for neurodiverse students. The program consists of a series of sessions designed to develop and provide real-world practice of social skills that will help students secure job shadow experiences, internships and successful, long-term job placement.

Gaming Club is a chance to engage with peers in a fun and energetic environment while fostering friendships and learning lifelong skills that will last long after the next level has been beaten. We know kids love gaming and parents constantly worry about screen time. We’re removing the guilt for parents, taking something kids love and turning it into a (Shh!) learning and growth experience!
Held at the Great Heights office in the Mililani Towne Center, Gaming Club is for neurodiverse students and is designed to use gaming as the foundation for learning opportunities and to create and practice appropriate social interactions online and in-person. Gaming Club will also expose students to skills and experiences that may lead to educational and employment opportunities.
