The Rich Center for Autism

Our students had an amazing time on their field trip to Keystone Safari! Thank you to all the families that could attend and to our staff for their support throughout the day. 🦒🐅🦓

Financial support for this trip was provided by The Doug Krinsky and Georgia Backus Operating Endowment for The Rich Center held at The Youngstown State University Foundation. Proceeds from the Ante4autism event provided the initial funding for the creation of this endowment. The 2026 event is this weekend! Best of luck and thank you for your ongoing support of our Center!

It's always a great time when The Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County comes to visit! This week, we did activities to celebrate America 250. 🇺🇸

Summer session is in and The Rich Center is doing it's part to bring some color and creativity to the sidewalks at Youngstown State University

Just our way of engaging the campus community and having a little fun!

Wishing everybody a safe, happy, and healthy 4th of July! 🎆🇺🇸

Congrats to our very own Rachael Dobson for her participation with Leadership Mahoning Valley and becoming a LMV 2026 graduate! The work you do for our community is invaluable!

UPDATE: The total collected now exceeds $5,000!

Thank you Knights of Columbus for continuing your support of The Rich Center. These kids have helped raise over $1,000 so far. Thank you!
