About Us

COME AS YOU ARE

Caya is a nonprofit organization deeply committed to supporting career development and independence for Autistic adults. Our core mission is to nurture independence, bolster self-esteem, and facilitate community integration via our extensive job training initiatives.

We understand that each person’s path, aspirations, and abilities are distinct. That’s why we adopt a person centered approach, ensuring every participant receives an Individual Independence Plan (IIP). This plan is meticulously crafted to define milestones and timing to achieve their personal goals, honoring their individual journey.

Utilizing Caya’s employer network, individuals are matched with employers that align with their skills and preferences.

Meet The Founder

Jenny was inspired to create Caya out of a deep-seated desire to make a positive impact on the world. She recognized the unique challenges that autistic adults face, particularly in achieving independence and finding employment that aligns with their goals. Her commitment to empowering individuals with autism through life and job skills training is driven by her belief in their potential to excel and lead fulfilling lives. This belief is the cornerstone of Caya’s mission to provide comprehensive support that nurtures the talents of autistic adults, enabling them to live independently and be gainfully employed in a way that resonates with their personal aspirations.
