It’s almost August…

But there is still plenty of time to engage your children in volunteering during their summer holiday. The Autism Society, Tidewater Chapter has recently added volunteer opportunities to our HandsOn Calendar that include volunteers as young as 11 years old! These opportunities go on throughout the Fall and Winter and are a great way to teach the youth of Hampton Roads how to give back to the community.
