Founders

"As the founders of this organization, we all noticed certain times at school or in our personal lives when our peers with ASD were laughed at by other kids at school or not treated equally. What started off with all of us just spreading a simple but powerful message of treating everyone the same, despite differences, turned into us initiating a team to carry out the message further. We started by recruiting our first batch of officers, and soon grew our social media, as well as our chapters internationally. Today, Humanities in Focus is a 501(c) nonprofit organization registered in California, we have more than 30 volunteer officers, and have obtained partnerships around the world. We hope to continue our mission of supporting the autism community, and not letting our age or student-duties hold us back from creating tangible impact in the world."
