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 5:00 - 6:00pm every Wednesday evening for a 6 week period beginning on January 10th.
We prefer for peer buddies to commit to the entire 6 week session but are open to having them come for alternative schedules.
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.
