Autism Society - Northwestern Pennsylvania

For more than 30 years, Autism Society NWPA has been a trusted resource for individuals living with Autism and the families who love and support them. We are committed to creating a community where every person on the autism spectrum is welcomed, respected, and empowered to reach their fullest potential.

We believe that Autism is a lifelong journey, and no family should have to navigate it alone.

From the moment of diagnosis through adulthood, we provide guidance, education, advocacy, social opportunities, and programs that help individuals build confidence, develop life skills, and live as independently as possible. Our Family Center serves as a place of connection and belonging, where parents find support, children make friends, teens discover new opportunities, and adults continue to grow and thrive.

Every program we offer is made possible through the generosity of our community. Autism Society NWPA receives no ongoing government funding for our services. One hundred percent of our operating support comes from fundraising dollars, grants, and the compassion of donors who believe in our mission.

That's why Erie Gives Day is one of the most important days of the year for our organization.

Your gift on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, helps us expand programs, welcome more families, strengthen our Family Center, and ensure that every individual living with Autism has access to the support, social opportunities, and resources they deserve.

When you support Autism Society NWPA, you are investing in your neighbors, your coworkers, your classmates, and your friends. You are helping build a more inclusive community where individuals with Autism can connect, learn, grow, and thrive throughout every stage of life.

Together, we can ensure that no family faces Autism alone.

Erie Gives. Families Thrive.
