WE NEED THE HELP OF RELIABLE, DEDICATED, CARING PEOPLE TO HELP MAKE EVERYONE'S EXPERIENCES AT EXTREME KIDS & CREW THE BEST IT CAN BE. WE’RE ALWAYS LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH ENERGETIC, COMPASSIONATE PEOPLE.
At Extreme Kids & Crew we believe that play is a powerful medium for learning, expression, and growth. Volunteers facilitate this important work by creatively engaging participants in child-led interactions that bubble up organically through openness and a genuine enthusiasm in the child's interests and ideas.
Interested volunteers should be ready to get down on the floor and build castles, join in on an expedition to the moon, or just play peek-a-boo for an hour. A willingness to get silly is a must!

About Extreme Kids and Crew
Location:
71 Sullivan Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231, US
Mission Statement
Extreme Kids & Crew combats the stress and isolation faced by children with disabilities and their families through play, arts and movement programming, partnerships with cultural and therapeutic institutions, parent meet-ups and more. Our goal is to join with other organizations to fund a flagship center where architects and designers can show off what a truly inclusive building would look like. The building would serve artists, musicians, doctors, healers, thinkers and researchers, allowing them to learn and be inspired by children who think, feel, and move in unique and sometimes startling ways. Most importantly, the building would serve as a second home and community base for families of children with disabilities. These families are in deep need of beautiful public spaces where every member feels welcome and accepted.
Description
Extreme Kids and Crew creates programming for kids with special needs and their families and friends. We have two locations. CAP House is located in the Crispus Attucks Playground in Brooklyn and is a play space with sensory equipment for children ages 4 and under as well as home to a home school co-op for kids with special needs. AMP Space is located at PS 15 in Red Hook Brooklyn and is home to our offices, plus a nice sensory gym. AMP is the location of open play Saturdays and Sundays plus a wide range of classes and programming in art, music, movement and play.
