Since 2018, the Greater Princeton & Far Beyond Branch of AYLUS (GPA) has been creating a positive impact on both children with autism and volunteers in the communities we serve throughout the State of New Jersey.
Through various programs and initiatives, GPA aims to foster a deeper relationship between nature and children with autism plus their families.
GPA hosts monthly outdoor activities for children with autism and their families exploring nature on trips in New Jersey. Each event has up to 10 autism kids, and up to 20 volunteers.
GPA leaders send out information at least two weeks before each event. Each event will be around 2-3 hours. GPA provides water with light snacks.
All future events will be at the beginning of each month. Future trips include Rutgers Geology Museum, Duke Farms, Cherry Blossom in Branch Brook park, Watchung reservation, Mercer County Park, etc.
