[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]KEEN, Montgomery County Special Olympics, and Open Door Sports are three organizations that use a lot of young volunteers.  Open Door has run outdoor programs when other programs were closed due to covid, although maybe not in the winter during omicron.

Go Baby Go is a great choice for a teen who is interested in assistive technology, which is an important part of OT.

Even if her long term goal is to work with little ones, I think that making connections with people with disabilities her own age, and hearing their voices is important.  Sunflower Bakery is a great organization that looks for teens to work with same age peers in their afterschool classes.  Special Olympics unified sports can be another way.

Saying what geographic area might help people make suggestions.[/quote]

OP here...she did a Go Baby Go camp a few summers ago and LOVED it but hasn't been able to find more opportunities to do it...please let me know if you know of any in the area.  We are in NW DC.

Sunflower Bakery seems like a great option too...[/quote]
