What it is

NeuroBridge supports neurodivergent students with the things that actually help them succeed: tutoring, funds, recreational events, and educational opportunities. We work alongside Friends of Children with Special Needs, Neuroguidance, the public library, and five clubs at Mission San Jose High School.

What I do

  • Family events at FCSN. Four half-day, holiday-themed recreational events — Halloween, Christmas, and two Easters — eight hours each, planned and led since October 2025.
  • Workshops. Twenty-plus two-hour educational workshops at MSJ and FCSN, weekly since December 2025: astronomy, engineering, health and anatomy, iron-filing art, pipe-cleaner flowers, and more.
  • Tutoring. Head tutor of a five-person team that ran weekly in-person math and coding sessions with the Fremont Main Library, June to September 2025.
