To help families affected by autism answer the question we all face,
“What will happen to my child when I’m gone?”
By teaching them how to build social enterprises that sustainably employ their child and others like them.
HOW WE HELP
When our team founded Rising Tide Car Wash, we often wished for a road map on how to build a social enterprise that employs individuals with autism sustainably. The goal of Rising Tide U is to provide that road map to other families who believe starting a business is their only way to help their loved ones with autism build a future.
