HOW WE HELP

Creating Opportunities. Building Connections.

Woodystock Blues: A Hand Up Foundation focuses on practical ways to support adults living on the autism spectrum and the families and caregivers who support them.

Our work centers around four key areas.

ARTS & EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIPS

Supporting Learning and Creative Opportunities

We help provide opportunities for adults on the autism spectrum to pursue education, creative interests, and personal development.

Support may help with:

  • Classes and tuition

  • Instruments

  • Art supplies

  • Studio time

  • Certifications

  • Educational equipment

LIVE MUSIC ACCESS

Making Live Music More Accessible

Music can create connection, joy, and a sense of belonging.

We help adults on the autism spectrum and their caregivers experience live music through support such as tickets, transportation, and accommodations where available.

Our own Woodystock Blues Festival is part of this commitment to making music and community more accessible.

FAMILY & CAREGIVER SUPPORT

Supporting the People Behind the Individual

Families and caregivers often need connection and support as they navigate adulthood on the autism spectrum.

We support opportunities for families and caregivers to connect through peer support, social opportunities, resources, and community relationships.

PUBLIC AUTISM EDUCATION

Building Greater Understanding

Greater awareness can help create more supportive communities

We provide opportunities for autism education through workshops, information, and community conversations designed to help organizations, employers, venues, and community members better understand autism and the experiences of adults living on the spectrum.

There Is More Work to Do.

Adults on the spectrum and their families need support that continues beyond childhood. You can help provide that support.

Supporting adults living on the autism spectrum and the families who care for them. Through creativity, connection, and a community that cares.
