Company Summary

Kudoz is a platform that connects people living with developmental disabilities with locals across the city - volunteers who offer 1-hr learning experiences once a month - everything from anime, to zoology, to politics. They host in their homes and workplaces then connect them to career & community groups.

We're reducing stigma, increasing mental health & independence, meaningful employment and lifelong learning.
