Project Awareness and Special Sports Inc (PAASS)

Mill Valley, California

Cause Description:
The mission and goal of PAASS is to create an inclusive supportive environment for individuals with developmental delays and learning challenges and to allow them to participate in community based sports and recreational programs. PAASS is also striving to raise understanding and acceptance. These programs invite high school and middle school students "Buddies" to volunteer and support participants in various sports programs and activities. The volunteers gain a deeper understanding of different perspectives and approaches to thinking and living as well as teaches them to look beyond any differences and recognize each person’s potential. This in turn promotes personal growth for everyone involved in the program. Ultimately we hope that this creates more opportunities for the participants as we believe that engaging community members leads to a better understanding of the importance of inclusion. We need to stand side by side and support each other. This is how we see community.
