Join the Club!
Starting or joining a Neurodiversity Alliance club at your school is free and open to all high school and college students throughout the US!
The Neurodiversity Alliance, or “ND Alliance” for short, is the largest online community and network of neurodiversity-focused clubs on high school and college campuses across the country - founded by, and for, students who learn differently.
We equip students directly with the tools and coaching they need to launch ND Alliance clubs on their campuses, along with access to a variety of neurodiversity-focused scholarships, leadership opportunities, and national events designed to build community, develop leadership skills, facilitate peer-to-peer support, and raise awareness for the 1 in 5 who learn differently.
