Mission Statement
Youth Activities for Special Horizons - is a Non-Profit 501c 3 organization that provides a safe online platform for kids on the autism spectrum to interact, learn and make friends with our outstanding youth volunteers.
Description
As a young autistic boy impacted firsthand by the pandemic, Yash is the inspiration behind Project YASH
The platform focuses on developing social and leadership skills, providing opportunities to learn about various tools and technologies that are integral to functioning in today’s world for both youth volunteers and special needs participants.
*You need to be in high school to volunteer!
The youth volunteers get an opportunity to develop leadership and organizational skills by managing and coordinating various initiatives to build a more inclusive future for the kids on the autism spectrum.
The program also pushes for creating social awareness about the challenges faced by people on autism spectrum and push for career opportunities for them.
