Birthday Party Volunteer
Our annual Amigos Community Birthday Party originated from a touching narrative shared by one of our board members. He noticed his autistic son facing exclusion from party invitations due to social barriers. This community event serves as an inclusive platform for our Amigos participants and other community members who frequently encounter exclusionary experiences. It offers them an opportunity to come together, celebrate, and feel valued within a supportive environment.
On this special day, we need help setting up/ taking down decorations, or facilitating one (or more) stations for games and activities.
