The unique feature of Project YASH is that it is primarily managed by the youth volunteers like you. You will get an opportunity to develop leadership and organizational skills by managing, coordinating and growing various initiatives to build a more inclusive future for the kids on the autism spectrum. You will also learn critical communication skills and learn to work with people from different backgrounds and abilities giving them a foundation for future success.

  • Hold online book reads sessions. You will set your own mutually convenient time with the participant to read books using Zoom or Google Meet. We try to make the sessions fun, interactive and work towards building social skills and language of our participants. These sessions are usually 30 minutes long.
