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 soccer field. 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 Westland Middle School in Bethesda runs from 4:15 - 5:15pm every Wednesday afternoon beginning April 19th and ending on May 30th.
We prefer for peer buddies to commit to the entire season but are open to having them come for alternative schedules, as long as they clearly communicate with the coach.
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.
