Champs for Autism plans various events throughout the year. Our signature event is our Champs For Autism Fashion Show where children with and without disabilities get together and rip the runway! Our runway is known as a runway of hope because it empowers the children and gives the parents hope that their children are amazing!!
This fashion show has been in existence for 4 years, and we have impacted over 300 families. This would not be possible if it was not for our volunteers!
As a volunteer on the event management committee you would gain experience in:
- How to develop an event budget and maintain it
- How to interact with different vendors
- Grow your customer service skills
- At times interact with social media influencers and politicians
- Developing a project timeline
- So much more!
This is a good fit if you are passionate about influencing the lives of children with Autism and would like to make a change in the community. It is also good for you if you want to gain experience in the event planning industry.
This is a 6 month commitment and we are asking for each volunteer to 3-4 hours a month. Some hours would be in person, but most will be virtually as we are planning our events.
We are looking for a person that is reliable and have a great heart. We are a family here at Champs For Autism, and we would love to welcome you to our family!

Mission Statement
Champs For Autism mission is to empower individuals with Autism and their families. We do this through providing inclusive educational and recreational programs. Our goal is to ensure that individuals with Autism are not defined by their disabilities, but that people will learn to love their abilities and the gifts they have to offer to the world.
Description
Champs For Autism goal is to expand nationwide and provide educational, and recreational programs for individuals with Autism. At this time we host an annual " I Believe In Me Fashion Show" where children with and without disabilities get together and rip the runway. Our runway is a representation of hope, and encouragement. The parents that allow their children to participate , are always amazed at their child's progress and courage. The children walk before an audience of 300 -400 people, without fear and full of courage!
We also are on the mission to create reading and math literacy programs for children on the spectrum. We are also hosting seminars to teach parents of children with special needs to transition from emotions to becoming an advocate for their children. Parents are the number one advocate, but due to their passion it holds them back from being effective in their advocacy for their child. We will go around the nation teaching parents key details to become a better advocate for their child.
