Young Adult Social Group

The Young Adult Social Group (YASG) provides individuals, ages 18-30ish, with an opportunity to socialize and share experiences with others who have had similar challenges and life experiences. Individuals with all diagnoses are invited to participate (not exclusive to autism). This group meets to socialize, form friendships, engage in activities, and enjoy outings together!

YASG typically meets once a month at various locations in Central Arkansas (Conway or Little Rock), Northwest Arkansas, and Russellville.

To sign up simply fill out the registration EACH MONTH that you want to attend & that will RSVP you for that month’s outing! If you would like to attend all cities that month then please select each city.
