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. VVolunteers assist in preparing the space for activities, and cleaning up after the fun is done.
