Resources
A growing directory of nonprofits, podcasts, and organizations doing work that shares our mission.
We’re not building belonging alone. Across the country, there are nonprofits, creators, and community organizations working to make the world more understanding of neurodivergent people — and we want you to find them.
The resources below are places we trust: partner organizations, podcasts worth your time, and groups whose work complements ours. Some offer services we don’t. Some tell stories in ways that will stay with you. All of them share a belief at the heart of The RILEY Project — that neurodivergent young people deserve to be seen, supported, and heard.
Explore what speaks to you. And if you know an organization or creator who belongs here, tell us — this list grows with our community.
