Our Sweet Mission

ScoopUp Creamery is more than just an ice cream truck — it’s a vibrant Learning Lab on wheels, powered by AutismUp. Created to provide meaningful, real-world job experience for young adults with autism, ScoopUp Creamery blends the joy of a sweet treat with the impact of hands-on learning. With every event we attend, our interns from Full Life Academy build skills in customer service, hospitality, and teamwork, in a supportive and inclusive environment.

Our mission is to empower individuals with autism by providing real-world job experiences through skill-based “Learning Labs,” enabling independence, confidence, and sustainable personal growth.

We envision a growing network of these COLLABS (Community Organized Learning LABS) — like ScoopUp and our café, PercUp Provisions located within the Golisano Autism Center, where students can apply what they’ve learned in practical settings and build pathways toward more independent futures.

When you invite ScoopUp to your event, you’re helping create opportunities that extend far beyond the cone. You’re supporting job training, celebrating inclusion, and fueling a model that is designed to grow with our students and community.
