Become an AOG Peer Moderator — Or Use This to Build Your Own Group
Everyone deserves a chance to support someone else.
At Autism On the Go (AOG), group moderation is more than just leading conversations — it’s about creating spaces of safety, connection, and transformation.
We created the AOG Peer Moderator Training Program to help neurodivergent people become peer facilitators — but we also believe this material can help anyone who wants to create inclusive, people-first spaces.
This training was designed by us and for us — but it’s meant for everyone. Whether you’re an Autistic person looking to lead, or part of an organization building your own support group, you’re welcome to use this training however it’s most useful to you.
🧭 Start Here: How It Works
Our training includes several downloadable resources that you can use at your own pace. Whether you’re reviewing on your own, going through it with a mentor, or sharing it with your team, this program is your first step toward leading with confidence.

🙋 Why Peer Moderation?
Because your voice matters. Because your presence makes a difference.
Because your peers deserve someone like you — and you deserve the experience of seeing what you’re capable of.
Peer moderation allows people to:
- Support each other in real and meaningful ways
- Create spaces of safety and community
- Grow personally through shared learning and reflection
“We can all be better together.”
