GET ACTIVE: Athletic Sessions with Special-Needs Youth

Date: Sep 23, 2017 at 10:00am to 12:30pm
Play sports and help coach special needs youth in various athletic activities. KEEN (Kids Enjoy Exercise Now) is a nonprofit organization that provides one-to-one recreational opportunities for children and young adults with mental and physical disabilities. KEEN L.A.’s mission is to foster the self-esteem, confidence, skills and talents of its athletes through non-competitive activities. Get your game on! Play soccer, gymnastics, basketball or track and field with KEEN athletes between the ages of 3 and 18. The youth will be divided up by age groups, (ages 3-10) and (ages 11-18). Volunteers get matched with KEEN athletes and play various recreational activities that are tailored to each athlete's needs and designed to promote the athlete's sense of accomplishment. Bring some encouragement and positivity to these youth and show them a fun time! Active Chair: Angela Chao Pledge Chair: Hans Cabrera
