Need After-School Participants!
|
We have several openings in our peer socialization after-school program for children with autism ages 7-12. BAC Friends is held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 - 4:30 pm. This program is provided free of charge, thanks to a generous grant from the Brooklyn Community Foundation.
Please spread the word if you know any children who would benefit from structured play time with peer volunteers. This program is a lot of fun for all participants, and provides lots of opportunities for interaction through art, music and physical activity!
