The AS.PIE baking co is a revolutionary program founded by our Youth Advisory Committee.
We support our community by making “Products with a Purpose” to fight isolation and loneliness in our ASD community.
In this program, isolated ASD teens and adults receive peer support while practicing skills needed to be successful out in the community, including: increased employ-ability and entrepreneurship skills. Boosting personal productivity, increase in conflict-resolving skills, improving outlook on life & an increased quality of life are all key outcomes for participants.
Young adult mentors partnered with adult professionals use an adapted relaxed curriculum to teach life, social, business and baking skills to individuals with learning disabilities.
This program is for individuals with special needs ages 13 to 50.
Youth & adults will learn hand-on with the Pie & Pastry Cooperative in the kitchen and offer support to younger participants.
Above all this is a social program and at the end of every session we will enjoy snacks and each others company with a social hour.
