West Essex AYLUS Volunteers for Special Needs Children’s Event Saturday in Motion on 2/25/2023

On Feb. 25th, 2023, West Essex AYLUS members volunteered for Saturday in Motion at Somerset Hills YMCA from 3pm-5pm.  Saturdays in Motion (SIM) is a recreational program for children with autism.  Autistic children and their families join together at Somerset Hills YMCA on Saturdays for two hours of recreation. Volunteers first meet up for preparation including setting up equipment in the gym.  Then volunteers carefully guide assigned children through an hour of gym time and a second hour in the pool.

West Essex member: Jasmine Chen, Ava Lee (2.5 hours each including gym set up and cleanings)
