About Us

The Shine Community is a place for neurodiverse young adults who have aged out of school-based services. Here, everyone celebrates wholeness through an authentic Christ-centered community. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, located in Duluth, Georgia.

Our Purpose

Why This Ministry Matters

After high school begins a new season of hope for most young adults. Yet, for our neurodiverse young adults and their families, a season of isolation begins as years of support systems and social connections disappear. Families face a daunting task of a finding safe and affordable place for peer connection, continuous learning and community engagement.

The Shine Community bridges that gap – offering holistic programs, friendships and ongoing support during one of life’s most pivotal transitions.
