For 17 incredible years, HDS Foundation has been dedicated to making a difference in the lives of youth and young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). What began as a vision to empower and support has grown into a movement that transforms lives every single day.

Our guiding motto, “Rising by Lifting Others,” is more than words, it’s the heartbeat of everything we do. Through innovative programs, community partnerships, and unwavering commitment, we’ve created opportunities for mentoring, achievement, and independent living. These milestones reflect the power of collaboration and compassion.

Our Journey of Achievements

  • Mentoring for Success: Thousands of ASD youth have found guidance and encouragement through our mentorship initiatives, building confidence and life skills.
  • Educational Empowerment: From scholarships to specialized programs, we’ve opened doors to learning and growth.
  • Community Integration: By fostering inclusive environments, we’ve helped young adults thrive in workplaces, schools, and social settings.
  • Living Independently: Our programs have supported transitions into adulthood, promoting independence and self-sufficiency.

The Impact

Every story of progress reminds us why we started. Families share how their loved ones have achieved goals once thought impossible. Communities celebrate the contributions of individuals who are now thriving. Together, we’ve built a legacy of hope and opportunity.

Looking Ahead

As we commemorate 17 years, we reaffirm our commitment to innovation and advocacy. The journey continues, and with your support, we will keep lifting others, because when one rises, we all rise.

Join us in celebrating this milestone and shaping the future. Together, we make a difference every day.
