About MORIAH: MORIAH™ Cooperative is a nonprofit 501c3 organization which provides free inclusive social events for children with special needs (Autism, Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, etc.). Youth with these types of diagnoses are often called "neurodiverse" and experience challenges relating to vital social and communication skills. These deficits often lead to exclusion among their peers. Using a unique peer mentorship model, MORIAH pairs neurodiverse youth with neurotypical (mainstream) peers. This is so neurodiverse participants have an opportunity to practice social and communication skills that are modeled by neurotypical peers. In return, neurotypical youth learn about neurodiversity and the importance of empathy, acceptance and inclusion.

All of MORIAH's events are free due to the generous donations of kind individuals who believe in their mission. For more information, visit https://www.moriahus.org.
