We are looking for volunteers with heart to help us teach tennis to kids with autism in Arlington Heights, IL!
ACEing Autism is a national not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping children with autism grow through social connection and fitness. We offer volunteer run tennis clinics for children ages 5-18. Sessions focus on having fun!
No tennis experience is necessary!
Volunteers receive training and are paired with a participant to help them through the motions of the game of tennis through various drills and games. We hope that our volunteers and participants form a bond and friendship over the course of our session. Volunteers who return each week find the most value in our volunteer opportunity and will see the strides the athletes make in our program.
