A Little Compassion Inc. Organizational Profile

A Little Compassion, Inc. (ALC) is an IRS 501(c)(3) approved non-profit founded in 2018 with a mission to change the lives of young adults with autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities, or neurodiversity by creating employment and social opportunities to nurture their unique skills, strengths and preferences. ALC also takes the lead in increasing public awareness and acceptance that young adults with disabilities are vital and valuable community members. 

The Nest Coffee House, the flagship program of ALC, understands that finding your place in the world can be tough – especially during the formative young adult years – and it is even tougher for a young adult with autism, an intellectual or developmental disability.  The Nest Coffee House provides employment and social opportunities for these young adults who need an opportunity to shine. The Nest is a place where young adults with disabilities gain work experience and confidence in a setting that is grounded in acceptance, inclusion and support.  It is also a place where our community gathers and sees young adults with disabilities as valuable and productive members of our community.
