What are affiliates?
The affiliate network consists of a diverse group of local Autism Society organizations across the United States that delivers the organization’s mission within assigned service areas. The diversity of the affiliate network is reflected in its geographic service area, programming, capacity, structure, revenue and longevity.
We recognize that the strength of the affiliate network lies in its people – Board members, staff, committees, volunteers, partners – and its ability to provide meaningful mission impact within the communities they serve.
What do affiliates do?
Affiliates are the direct link to connecting the Autism community to the support and services that are needed. Affiliates serve individuals and families across the Autism lifespan in the core service areas of information & referral (I&R), support, education, advocacy, and community programming. Each affiliate tailors its strategic direction and programming based upon the needs of its own community.
