WHERE POTENTIAL MEETS JOY
REVEL is a Colorado-based nonprofit that empowers neurodiverse teens and adults to live with purpose, confidence, and joy. Through creative programs, skill-building, and community connection, REVEL helps individuals uncover their passions, achieve personal goals, and thrive as their authentic selves.
At REVEL, we believe every person deserves the chance to uncover their passions and experience the joy of belonging. Our programs empower neurodiverse teens and adults to learn, create, and connect in ways that celebrate who they are.
As we enter the giving season, we invite you to join this extraordinary community — one that helps every individual live with purpose, confidence, and joy.
Your gift makes it all possible.
ABOUT REVEL
Maybe you know someone who’s neurodiverse and have witnessed the challenges they face in social or professional situations — the uncertainty, the misunderstandings, or the lack of opportunity. At REVEL, we’re changing that story.
We equip neurodiverse individuals with essential life and workplace skills, boost their confidence, provide job coaching and support, foster independence, and reduce social isolation. But we don’t just create activities to fill time — we set goals, track progress, and challenge our REVELers to step outside their comfort zones so they can achieve meaningful outcomes and live the lives they deserve. Every person is treated as the unique individual they are, with their learning, goals, and dreams at the center of everything we do.
We also partner with employers to promote understanding, create inclusive workplaces, and build a society where neurodiverse individuals are valued contributors — because when everyone is included, everyone benefits.
THE CHALLENGE
The lack of support for neurodiverse individuals can have profound implications for both them and their families. Individuals may experience increased social isolation, leading to feelings of loneliness and low self-esteem, and thoughts of suicide. They might struggle to find and maintain employment, resulting in financial dependence, lack of community, and a lack of purpose. Additionally, without essential life skills, they may face challenges in managing daily tasks, further limiting their independence.
For families, the absence of support can create stress and uncertainty. Parents may feel overwhelmed and helpless as they navigate their loved one’s transition to adulthood without adequate resources.
Giving Activity
Mission
REVEL is the bridge to adulthood for teens and adults with autism spectrum disorder and IDDs to live meaningful, enriched lives.
Background Statement
In 2016, REVEL originated from a core group of dedicated professionals who focused on providing therapeutic behavioral services to children diagnosed with autism. However, it soon became clear that the supports provided during the school years were not sufficient once these clients began to approach graduation. As young adults turn 21 years old, the services available through high school and transition programs end and the “cliff” begins. Programs and funding for adults with disabilities are limited, resulting in a lack of social interaction with others, increased rates of social isolation, depression and unemployment. REVEL strives to provide a bridge for this undeserved group, and is committed to creating opportunities for these individuals to become active, integrated participants in their community, living fulfilling lives and reaching their fullest potential. We create an accepting community for teens and adults with autism to connect, work, learn, live, and explore new interests together with their peers. Through our comprehensive programming, partnerships and integration with the community, REVEL’s reach is always expanding. What began as a lounge to provide a safe place for social interaction, is now providing person-first services and supports, including therapy and vocational development. As REVEL continues to grow, we see a life without limits for our participants, where they achieve individualized independence and find meaningful roles in their communities.
