Social Squad: Building Friendships and Fun Community Participation
Social Squad is an 8-week Community Support Group Program for children and teenagers who would like to build their social skills and engage in meaningful community participation. Sessions consist of skill-building fun in a group setting and meaningful excursions into the community.

Gain lifelong skills and friendships
Social Squad takes proven methods successfully used in our individual Community Support Programs to help teens grow a range of essential skills in a fun group setting.
Across eight carefully planned sessions, we help kids and teens gain the skills and confidence needed to build friendships and access their community.
Social Squad also guides group members through the process of planning and executing social excursions designed to facilitate incidental learning.
