MNeurodivergent is a Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to reducing isolation, fostering connection, and celebrating the diverse experiences of neurodivergent individuals across the state.

Duluth, MN – Volunteer (Flexible Schedule)

We host social events in the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota, such as coffee shop meet‑ups and movie nights. We offer a variety of activities to appeal to people with different interests, including crafting, gaming, and more. Our events provide just enough structure and support for neurodiverse people, allowing them to be themselves, feel less alone, and build up their social networks.

We plan our activities with diversity, inclusion, and accessibility in mind. We strive to be inclusive of people from different backgrounds, cultures, identities, and support needs. Whether you’ve been formally diagnosed or you’re still figuring things out, our doors are open to all neurodiverse individuals.
