ACEing Autism is a nationwide nonprofit organization which provides affordable tennis programming for kids on the autism spectrum. Our mission is to help children with autism to grow, develop, and benefit from social connections and fitness through affordable tennis programming.

ACEing Autism is launching its first program in Santa Monica and we are looking for volunteers with tennis experience to give their time and experience!

Volunteers will get to see firsthand the impact they make on the participants they work with and their families. They will form friendships and relationships with the athlete, other volunteers, and learn lifelong skills such as organization, adaptability, and management. We also have opportunities for growth and gaining more responsibilities if the volunteer wants to.

Our session runs for six consecutive Sundays from 4-5pm, beginning October 13 and going until November 17.
