Description
Special Citizens Futures Unlimited (Special Citizens) has an opening for a volunteer board member.
Organizational Overview
Special Citizens Futures Unlimited (Special Citizens) has been providing holistic life management for those on the Autism Disorder Spectrum for over 40 years. Special Citizens began with a few parents joining forces to provide services and support for their aging adolescents and opened its first residential location in December 1981. Since then, Special Citizens has expanded offerings to include 20 Residences, 4 Day Habilitation programs and Community Habilitation services.
Special Citizens currently has an annual budget of $16 million and over 200 staff who serve 300 individuals yearly in New York City and Westchester. With a person-centered approach to all programming and services, Special Citizens is one of the few agencies that primarily focuses on adults with autism. All consumers are included in the planning of their services and activities, which concentrates on the individual’s specific needs and goals.
