ACRES Project
The ACRES Project is a Central Pennsylvania nonprofit working to foster independence, self-advocacy, social opportunities, and work/life skills for adults with autism. We believe that people never "age out" of the need for a supportive community, a well-paying job, or a friendly face. With over half of our paid staff on the autism spectrum, we pride ourselves on creating unique opportunities by and for adults with autism.
