- Experience supporting neurodivergent youth, including children with autism, ADHD, anxiety, or social communication challenges.
- Experience facilitating therapeutic, recreational, educational, or social skills groups.
- Background in counselling, psychology, social work, child and youth care, therapeutic recreation, education, or related fields.
- Experience with Minecraft, virtual reality (VR), esports, or online communities.
