Kwirkz started in 2019 as an idea to bring people, resources, and mutual passions together for the benefit of the special needs community. It was a simple thought that started it all: "We all have quirks, and at the end of the day we're all human beings. Why can't there be opportunity for us all?"

 

Inspired by his older brother Tyler, who lies on the Autism Spectrum, Founder | Ryan Cretens, realized at a young age that Tyler was not afforded the same opportunities that he and his friends had. Ryan decided to advance his passion for special needs advocacy through Kwirkz to give back to Tyler and others living with intellectual and physical disabilities. Kwirkz plans to make impacts in a few key areas:

 Education | Employment | Social Life | Transportation | Housing
