Open Door Sports provides after-school sports programs to children with special needs and is looking for middle and high school aged peer buddies to volunteer their time to work with a player and help them find success and joy on the basketball court. The program is run by two coaches and the role of the peer buddy is to be a friend to the players and help them to get the most out of their time playing. The program at Flora M. Singer Elementary in Silver Spring runs from 4:00 - 5:00pm every Friday afternoon for a 6 week period beginning on January 3rd. The last class is on Friday, February 7th.
We expect peer buddies to commit to the entire 6 week session to create stability for the players in the program.
Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian and must be completed outside of school hours. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns.
