Make a Difference by Volunteering as a Challenger Buddy

 Want to make a difference in someone's life? Volunteer for the YMCA Challenger program for kids with physical, developmental and intellectual disabilities. There are almost 30,000 kids in the Kansas City Metropolitan area with a disability, and the YMCA is only one of a handful of organizations that have programs year round.  Challenger helps participants to learn new skills, participate in
individual and team activities, build friendships, and have fun.

Training:
We have two volunteer training opportunities that will go over this
session's details, but also give you general information about
Challenger, the YMCA of Greater Kansas City- and hear from a special
presenter who will give us insight on working with people who have
disabilities.

Even if you are unable to volunteer for these sessions, you are still
invited to attend the training opportunity; and you may leave after the
general information/presentations portion.  Please let me know if you
would like to attend, and at which location.

Tuesday, August 24, 6-7:30pm at the Platte Co. Community Center South
