    Leveling Up Social skills: Virtual Gaming Crew at Extreme Kids and Crew

    Are you looking to share your special interests with the world? Are you excited by the chance to center and celebrate the experiences of neurodiverse children? Are you ready to make a difference and have a great time while doing it?

    Whether you’re a student, professional, or just someone passionate about inclusion and fun, if the answer to any of the questions above is an enthusiastic yes, we’d love to have you on our team! Please consider joining Extreme Kids & Crew as a volunteer for our Weekly Club Programs.

    Extreme Kids and Crew (EKC) is an organization that provides play spaces for neurodivergent youth and their families. These collaborative community spaces foster self-confidence and community development for young people often isolated from public spaces. We are looking for enthusiastic, caring individuals to support our programs for neurodivergent children and their families. Volunteers engage with the kids throughout the session while encouraging creativity, participation, and joy throughout our time together. This is a wonderful opportunity to build meaningful connections, be part of a supportive community, and directly impact the lives of amazing kids and families.
