Autism New Jersey
Ambassador Program
Increasing understanding and building acceptance.
Autism Acceptance
Autism New Jersey’s cornerstone autism awareness campaign—the Ambassador Program significantly impacts the understanding and acceptance of autism in New Jersey.
Celebrating 25 Years of
The Ambassador Program
We are honored and proud to have achieved 25 years of building autism acceptance across the state and beyond. Some of our ambassadors have been with the program for the majority of our journey and some are new, but everyone has made a significant impact in our autism community.
The Ambassador Program will continue to offer free or cost-friendly ways to educate, empower, and lead the way in creating a more compassionate and inclusive world for autistic individuals and their families. We are looking forward to the next 25 years and everything we will accomplish together!
Get involved, have fun, get creative, and support the 1 in 35 incredible people with autism in New Jersey!
