Work with Us - Community Mentoring

Serving our community through education, support and empowerment.

Aspire Services partners with groups and organizations throughout Ontario to provide programs or workshops as community resources. Our hosted Workshops can be offered as learning opportunities, to support families and organizations or to nurture self-empowerment.

Each of these workshops brings neurodivergent individuals and their support network into an inclusive environment to learn about a specific topic or skill. These workshops range from 1-2 hours in length and are taught in an engaging and positive format.

Get in touch with us for more information or to book your next workshop!
