Erin's Hope for Friends

Erin's Hope for Friends Erin’s Hope supports autistic teens and young adults in social settings at our e’s Club events.

Erin’s Hope for Friends is a non-profit, initiated by the family of Erin Horst, a sweet, caring and thoughtful girl who battled many challenges, primarily Asperger’s. Our mission is to help foster friendships and lasting relationships for autistic teens and young adults. We do this through our e’s Club program that utilizes low-stress activities to help encourage social interaction. Please contact us at [email protected] for more information.

Mocktail Weekend at e’s Club!

Summer and popsicles go together like besties!

Join us for a fabulous Mocktail Weekend as we sip refreshing mocktails, enjoy delicious popsicles, and indulge in sweet treats from Nothing Bundt Cakes! It's the perfect way to celebrate summer, friendship, and all the joy that comes from spending time together.

Dress up if you'd like, strike a pose for a pic with your mocktail creation, and get ready for an evening filled with laughter, fun, and unforgettable memories.

This special evening event is open to our Young Adult and Adult e’s Club members!

Please note that e’s Club will be closed on Father's Day so our members, families, volunteers, and staff can enjoy the day celebrating with their loved ones.

Here's to cool treats, warm friendships, and making this summer one to remember!

By Popular Demand... The Laugh Lounge is BACK!

You asked, and we listened! The Laugh Lounge returns this weekend for another evening of giggles, groans, and goofy fun. Come ready to share your favorite jokes—the sillier, the better! They don't even have to make sense!

Just one rule: Keep your jokes clean and kind so everyone can enjoy the laughs.

We're also excited to welcome Margaret, our new Program Assistant, who will be shadowing Bryn this Friday. And while Bryn may be a newer face to some, she absolutely rocked Teen Camp and can't wait for another fun night with everyone!

Bring your best punchlines and your biggest smiles—we'll see you at the Laugh Lounge!

Our Summer 2026 Camp kicked off with an amazing week of fun, laughter, and friendship! ☀️

From STEM activities and creative art projects to movie time and burgers with friends, our members enjoyed a little bit of everything. Most importantly, new friendships were formed, and existing friendships grew stronger through shared experiences and memorable moments together.

The fun isn't over yet! Our next camp session will be held during the last week of July, just before school starts back. And don't forget—every Wednesday we're hosting Wacky Wednesdays from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, filled with activities, connection, and plenty of fun!

We can't wait to see everyone again soon!

Did you know that e's Club is funded almost entirely by the generosity of donors?

In fact, nearly 90% of our funding comes from individuals, businesses, foundations, and community partners who believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to build meaningful friendships.

Behind the scenes, this incredible Board of Directors are donors AND they work tirelessly to raise the funds that make our programs possible. Their dedication, leadership, and passion help ensure that our members have a place where they can connect, belong, and thrive.

This past weekend, the Erin's Hope for Friends Board Retreat was a tremendous success! We spent time planning, dreaming, and building momentum for the future—and we are especially excited about our upcoming Gala on August 15 at The Hotel at Avalon, Autograph Collection. (Hope YOU participate in the event!)

A heartfelt thank you to our Board for their commitment to our mission and the friendships we help create every day.

Stay tuned... exciting things are happening, and the best is yet to come!

Please join us in welcoming Margaret and Bryn to the e's Club team!

Oh my goodness... you have no idea how excited we are!

These two talented ladies bring an incredible mix of experience, creativity, and energy to our program. One brings Disney magic, while the other is a SCAD graduate with amazing artistic and creative talents. Together, they're going to help make our weekend themes and activities even more engaging, imaginative, and fun! Plus they both have a deep understanding of ASD1 and how to inspire members to make friends.

We can't wait to get them fully trained and watch them begin leading programs that inspire connection, confidence, and friendship among our members. If you see them, please say , "hello"!

And for those who attended camp this week... surprise! Bryn was already leading the charge. 😄 That's right—we threw her right into the action during her very first week, and she absolutely loved it!

Please help us give Margaret and Bryn a warm Erin's Hope welcome. We have a feeling they're going to bring a lot of joy, creativity, and yes... a little magic our way.

This weekend at E's Club, we're brewing up a Latte Friendships!

Join us for a cozy Bistro Weekend where the vibe is just like your favorite neighborhood coffee shop. Grab an iced coffee (mostly decaf—we don't want parents dealing with late-night energy bursts! 😉), enjoy delicious pastries, and relax with friends in a welcoming, comfortable space.

We'll also be enjoying board games, trivia, and plenty of opportunities to connect, laugh, and strengthen friendships.

Friendship is always on the menu.
