December Volunteer Project

The Gotham Gator Club invites you to volunteer ( have fun ) with KEEN (Kids Enjoy Exercise Now) in New York City for the Manhattan Sports Day for children and young adults with disabilities. 

 

Volunteering at KEEN has been one of Gotham Gators favorite volunteer projects. 

No experience is required. 

A brief orientation will lead you to an afternoon of smiles and fun for all ages. 

Bring your Gator Spirit to light up the lives of kids in our local area.

 

 Fun Zone: 

This will be an afternoon of non-competitive sports and/or arts + crafts with special needs kids to help them discover just how much they can do!

 

Why We Care:

KEEN fosters the self-esteem, confidence, and talents of young people facing significant challenges, empowering them to meet their individual goals. 

 

How You Will Make an Impact:

Gator volunteers are matched up with a student (youth with special needs).  The volunteers and kids have fun together with activities such as shooting a basketball, hitting a ball with a racquet, arts, crafts , creating a holiday card, create a dance routine , or simply sit and talk etc. and ensure the kids are having fun!
