We provide a volunteer-based inclusive recreation program with one-on-one peer buddy support, in a positive, fun atmosphere with role models for age appropriate behavior. Our program has built self-esteem, confidence, acceptance, as well as an opportunity to establish on-going relationships with others. We are also providing opportunities to socialize, learn proper cooperative behaviors, sort out problems and work together as part of a team. The Club gives our kids a sense of belonging outside of the immediate family. Since inception we have grown to a registration of over 200 youngsters with special needs and over 300 peer-buddy volunteers from the Northern Virginia - Washington Metropolitan area. Eddie's Club offers multiple activities to kids and teens with special needs. Our Club serves not only as an activity program for the kids but also a respite and informational program for the families.
