About Us

About Aspiring Youth

Aspiring Youth and Delphi Young Adults have been providing social skills groups, summer camps, coaching and other programs for children, teens, young adults and their families since 2004. We are a nationally accredited program and part of Ryther, a non-profit leader in behavioral health services for over 130 years.

Our students have a lot in common. They have ability, aspiration and integrity with a wide range of interests, but have often been perplexed or withdrawn from social situations. Some of our students are shy, some are quirky and some are twice exceptional. Many have a diagnosis of autism, ADHD, learning disabilities or similar neurodiverse traits.

About our programs

Students develop tools and confidence to navigate their social world. Through consultation with parents, teachers and providers, we help our students apply these new skills to their social, academic and family life.

We create an environment where students can make sustainable friendships. Engaging activities strengthen self-esteem and trust, and students build a new social community through social events and year-round programs.

About our counselors

Our master’s level facilitators and coaches have diverse training in the fields of education, psychology and social work. We hire dynamic people who have extensive experience working with our student population and want to innovate and grow. Learn more about our staff and leadership.
