In 2021, I became the Executive Director at Autism Pensacola. In March 2025, I accepted a position at a different nonprofit, but a piece of my heart will always be in the mission at API. The staff, volunteers, donors, and others who live that mission every day bring a devoted sense of compassion and understanding to those who are affected by autism. I will always be their cheerleader and promote the programs and services they offer. If ever you need resources during your own journey with autism, please contact them. And if you ever want to help in any other way, call them and find out how.
Best non-profit in Pensacola hands down. Autism Pensacola offers Project Lifesaver, a summer camp, social events for families, and more. Volunteering for this organization has been life changing for me.
Autism Pensacola is the most amazing charity. This year has been really rough on my family. Not only did they refer us to two other organizations for Christmas help, but also awarded us a Christmas gift card! They helped me remember the magic of Christmas! Thank you, Autism Pensacola!
Before Autism Pensacola, I felt alone in this world. After discovering this wonderful non-profit organization, my family now has a sense of belonging in the community. We participate in tons of social events throughout the year and even caregiver support groups! Thank you API for making a difference in the lives of my children and myself!
The same week my son was diagnosed with Autism, I found my way into the Autism Pensacola office, once inside I felt surrounded by support. Support I never thought was out there for my family. I have grown with this organization, my son as grown with this organization in ways that are nothing but success. I am filled with joy when speaking about Autism Pensacola. The connections we have made improve my son's life in every way. From schools, therapist, friends and support groups. I cant imagine what our everyday life would be like without API!!
