Autism Serves Kids Care Club
What is the Autism Serves Kids Care Club: Kids Care Clubs are groups of young people who volunteer together to help others in their communities and around the world. The Autism Serves Kids Care Club of Clark County is a fun, inclusive and autism-friendly volunteering club for kids and teens on the autism spectrum of all ability ranges as well as siblings and peer mentors.
Our first club meeting was in October 2015. Our sixth season was schedule to take place from October 2020 – June 2021 but we are currently on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We had talked about starting virtually through Zoom but there was not enough interest. We will revisit this in Spring 2022 and hope to return to Stephen’s Place again in Fall 2022.
As part of a network of generationOn’s Kids Care Clubs, we are connected with other youth volunteering clubs throughout the globe. We offer monthly service projects that will be worked on or completed at monthly meetings which are usually held the 2nd Sunday of each month from 2 – 4 PM. We also offer optional volunteer opportunities that kids and families can work on at home or in the community throughout each month.
Everybody has gifts to give and that including serving others. Volunteering helps lead to better health, a better sense of self-worth and helps build communication and leadership skills. Club members will learn new skills, make new friends and earn rewards and recognition. Together, we are stronger!
Our monthly volunteer projects will tie in with either one or two monthly themes, one of which usually parallels Kids Care Clubs worldwide. Members are taught and encouraged to use reflection, demonstration and evaluation activities after the completion of projects. Curriculum is adapted to support youth on the autism spectrum so that members of all abilities each have a chance to participate.
