About R Journey
Why we exist
R Journey exists to improve the lives of children, teens, and young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and the lives of their families.
We do it through programs that build independence and inclusion. For neurodivergent young people, that can mean learning a skill, joining a team, or making something with their own hands.
What we're working toward
We want the Triangle to be a place where young people with ASD are welcomed and given real chances to grow, and where the families of neurodivergent children have people to lean on.
What we believe
Start with what a child loves.
An interest in flowers, computers, or sport is the best place to begin teaching a skill.
Belonging comes from doing things together.
Children get to know each other by working side by side, so every program is something to do, not something to watch.
Families are part of it.
When a child has somewhere to go and something to look forward to, the whole family benefits.
Where we are now
R Journey began in Apex in 2025. We are new and we are building carefully: a few programs, run well, with partners who share our goals.
R Journey is a North Carolina nonprofit corporation. Our application for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status is pending with the IRS.
