Tesserae Minds
Tesserae Minds is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to empowering neurodivergent children by helping the world recognize their differences as strengths rather than limitations. Since our founding, we've reached communities in seven countries through fully funded summer camps, a children's book created alongside neurodivergent youth and specialists, and partnerships spanning the globe.
What We Do
Through summer camps, community events, storytelling, and advocacy, we create opportunities for neurodivergent youth to connect, grow, and thrive — while helping communities understand and celebrate neurodiversity.
Summer Camps
Fully funded local and international summer camps designed around the strengths of neurodivergent campers — giving kids a joyful, judgment-free space to make friends, try new things, and build confidence outside the classroom.
Children's Book
Created alongside neurodivergent youth, doctors, and specialists, our children's book shares authentic stories that help kids everywhere see neurodivergent minds as a strength to celebrate. Full details coming soon after publication!
Aquathon
A community swim-and-run event bringing families together to celebrate movement, teamwork, and inclusion — no matter how you learn or grow.
School Supply Drive
Collecting and distributing school supplies so every student can start the year feeling prepared, confident, and excited to learn.
Monthly Friendly Corners
A recurring, low-pressure meetup where neurodivergent kids and their families connect, play, and support one another every month.
Advocacy & Education
Presenting at events like the K-12 Strengths Fair and Stanford's Young Women's Leadership program to help more communities understand and celebrate neurodivergent strengths.
