GTJ’s February Volunteer Event – Young Adult Sports Day with KEEN!

by Gather the Jews Staff / December 31, 2012

keen_dc_logoThe KEEN Foundation‘s primary goal is to promote awareness, enrich education, and provide services to improve the quality of life for individuals and families affected by autism and other special needs.

On February 3rd, GTJ will participate in Young Adults Sports Day with KEEN.  Young Adult Sports takes place in the gym at Tilden Middle School and has two components: tae kwon do and kickball.  The first is 30-45 minutes we do tae kwon do led by a local tae kwon do master.  Volunteers help our young adults with the tae kwon do exercises, cheer them on, and help them stay on task throughout this time.  After tae kwon do, we play very casual, friendly games of kickball in which there are no real rules and everyone wins.

KEEN could very much use your help and support with the Young Adult Sports program, and our young adults would love to have DC young professionals come hang out with them and be their buddies.  We will organize a carpool for those without transportation.

WHEN: February 3rd, from 2:15 pm to 4:30 pm (we will be done before the Superbowl!)
WHERE: Tilden Middle School (11211 Old Georgetown Road., N. Bethesda, MD)
WHAT: Young Adult Sports Day with KEEN

We only have 24 spots so please RSVP here! – All spots have been filled. See you next time!
