Are you passionate about supporting the Autism community? Do you have a big heart, plenty of energy, and a weekend to spare? The Autism Society of Maine is looking for enthusiastic 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 to help us create a safe, joyful, and relaxing sanctuary for families at our upcoming Family Retreat at Camp CaPella in Dedham, Maine!

We provide family time and dedicated “away” time for parents to recharge. To make that happen, we need incredible people like you to engage with children and siblings through fun, sensory-friendly activities. Our retreat gives families the chance to connect — and gives parents a much-needed break. Your role is essential: you’ll be working directly with children and siblings in a camp environment, leading and supporting structured, sensory-friendly activities. This is a true direct-service position where your presence makes the experience possible.

📣WALK for AUTISM Bangor Announcement!

Despite the cool temperatures, we were fortunate to enjoy a dry day for our Walk for Autism in Bangor on Saturday, May 30th at Husson University.

What truly made the day extraordinary was the overwhelming support from our Autism community. We were surrounded by over 400 enthusiastic participants, amazing families, passionate volunteers, generous sponsors, dedicated teams, and caring community members who came together to make a lasting impact.

🙂The atmosphere was filled with laughter, encouragement, friendship, and a shared commitment to building a more inclusive and accepting world for individuals on the Autism spectrum. From start to finish, the day was a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish when we come together.

💥We are excited to announce that the Bangor Walk for Autism raised an outstanding $27,816.04 through individual and team fundraising efforts!
