Summer Program

Transitions San Francisco

Launchpad Workshop Series
Launchpad is a summer workshop series designed for neurodiverse young adults (ages 17–21+) who are ready to build real-world skills in a supportive, individualized setting. Each workshop is a standalone, three-day intensive rooted in the same clinical framework that guides the Winston Transitions year-round program. Students walk away with concrete skills, new self-awareness, and a clear sense of what’s next.
