Let us care for your child while you get a break! Your child will be paired with a buddy whose main job is to spend quality time having fun and caring for them. We will have snacks, do craft projects, play games and more! This event is for all children with special needs and their siblings. We ensure that every buddy is equipped with the knowledge and tools to provide the best care possible for your child. Buddies either have extensive experience working with special needs children or attend an orientation specially designed for volunteer caregivers.
