Built with Temple.
Friends of Temple Grandin is being created with Temple herself.
Through ongoing conversations with Temple, Friends brings together her stories, ideas, work and the people she has inspired, while creating new ways to share and carry that work forward.
This is a living community built around what Temple has spent a lifetime doing: noticing what others miss, solving real problems, and making room for different kinds of minds.
Friends began with a simple idea: what if the people whose lives have been touched by Temple had a way to stay connected to her work, to one another, and to what comes next?
