What started out as a small non-profit operating a rented kitchen space has grown into a global social movement with teens worldwide advocating on behalf of and supporting our organization. Our bakery began by employing autistic adults to make granola, and we now employ autistic adults in key roles throughout the organization, with roles in food production, shipping, social media, research, volunteer outreach and educational programming.The Luv Michael volunteer program is a grassroots, educational service learning program that is one part learning about autism, one part advocating for autism acceptance, and one part creating meaningful work. With volunteers across the world, our virtual service program allows for participation by any student who is service minded. Volunteers learn about autism, the challenges facing autistic adults, and our Luv Michael mission through multimedia resources. Volunteers take action and will advocate for autism acceptance by sharing their knowledge with others via digital outreach and in turn, help create meaningful work for autistic adults at Luv Michael.
