Sponsors of the Future Career & Entrepreneurship Camp

Organization: Sponsors of the Future (SoF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated in EG, Rhode Island, is dedicated to facilitating strong connections between local communities and businesses to create a more significant impact in neurodivergent communities. SoF creates community programs for all with the mission to connect the different stakeholders to form ecosystems that support the neurodivergent community and others, through education, advocacy, and inclusion.

“This is going to be the avenue that opens up the path for our kids.”Sponsors of the Future (SoF) bridges the gap between separate entities that are meant to work together. We develop ecosystems that facilitate strong connections and partnerships between businesses and the target communities they serve, which include individuals with challenges and their caregivers, educators, doctors, parents, local stakeholders, and more. We create programming for people from all backgrounds who face different challenges through these ecosystems that empower them to live meaningful and independent lives by cultivating important life and social skills. As everyone and their needs are different, this is done through consultation with their family to shape a unique curriculum for their gifts and challenges. At SoF, we work to empower all, including those with unique challenges, to achieve their full potential.
