Extreme Kids and Crew (EKC) is an organization that provides play spaces for neurodivergent youth and their families. These collaborative community spaces foster self-confidence and community development for young people often isolated from public spaces.
Extreme Kids & Crew is looking for passionate and dedicated volunteers to help make our Felix Awards a success! This annual event, happening on May 29th, is a celebration of the incredible individuals who make EKC thrive, and we need your support to bring it to life.
The Felix Awards is more than just a ceremony-it’s a night dedicated to honoring the people and organizations that uplift and support neurodivergent youth and their families. We recognize those who create inclusive, accessible spaces and champion the power of community. This event is a time to come together, reflect on our shared mission, and celebrate those making a lasting impact.
Volunteer Roles Include:
- Event setup
- Guest check-in and registration
- Assisting with activities and entertainment
- Supporting the awards presentation
- Event breakdown and cleanup
- And more!
This is a wonderful opportunity to build meaningful connections, be part of a supportive community, and directly impact the lives of amazing kids and families.
Whether you’re a student, professional, or someone with a passion for inclusion and fun, we’d love to have you on our team!

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.
