West Metro Community Coordinator; Volunteer

What We Do

We host social events in the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota, such as coffee shop meet‑ups and movie nights. We offer a variety of activities to appeal to people with different interests, including crafting, gaming, and more. Our events provide just the right amount of structure and support for neurodiverse people. This allows people to be themselves, feel less alone, and build up their social networks.

We plan our activities with diversity, inclusion, and accessibility in mind. We strive to be inclusive of people from different backgrounds, cultures, identities, and support needs. Whether you've been formally diagnosed or you're still figuring things out, our doors are open to all neurodiverse individuals.

MNeurodivergent is seeking a West Metro Community Coordinator to help lead community‑building efforts in the western Twin Cities metro area. This volunteer leadership role supports inclusive, affirming spaces for neurodivergent adults through consistent local events, volunteer mentorship, and strong community communication.
