Educating And Empowering The Village
Youth empowerment and transformation
through education.

Our Community and Who We Serve
Taahir’s Village is a nonprofit with a big heart, sparked by Taahir—a lively, spirited boy on the autism spectrum.
We’re all about building places where autistic kids and their families feel truly seen, heard, and supported. Whether it’s running workshops, putting up communication boards in parks and schools (so non-verbal individuals can let us know what they need), or just being there, we’re working to change how people see autism and make sure no family feels like they’re in it alone.

You Can Help Us Keep Going
We need your support to keep doing what we do—whether it’s finding a spot for our workshops, getting more communication boards out there, or throwing events like these. With the new administration shaking things up, families are going to lean on us even more. Jump in today—pitch in or get involved—and you’ll be helping kids like Taahir and their families build a brighter, more welcoming tomorrow.
