Our Story
Many young adults with autism and developmental delays struggle to access meaningful work experience and opportunities for independence.
We believe growth happens through real experiences, meaningful responsibility, and supportive community.
That's why Riverside Training Program and Riverside Coffee Shop were created: to provide hands-on opportunities that build confidence, connection, and workplace readiness.
