Needs
💙 Our Needs
At RAAVE DFW, we are committed to creating inclusive, meaningful opportunities for children of all abilities — in the community, through friendship, and with purpose.
We provide Circle of Friends Social Skills Meetups at fun, kid friendly community places like Chuck E. Cheese, Crayola Experience, Peppa Pig World, movie theatres, local libraries etc. These events help children build confidence, develop social skills, and enjoy positive peer interactions in everyday environments.
Our inclusive programs also include:
All-abilities seasonal camps
Behavioral support during sports and recreation (like 1:1 basketball skill sessions and adaptive yoga)
Community service projects where kids come together to prepare meals for the homeless and give back to others
Community policing activities, creating safe and positive connections between youth, families, and local officers
We rely on a trained team of behavioral technicians, volunteers, and support staff who ensure each child receives individualized guidance, encouragement, and a sense of belonging.
🎯 Our goal is to continue offering these services at little to no cost to families — while expanding access to more children across North Texas.
Your support helps cover:
Entry fees for meetups and camps
Sensory tools, supplies, and activity materials
Staff wages and volunteer training
Transportation, insurance, and program costs
Materials for service and community events
Every dollar helps us foster a more inclusive, connected, and empowered future — one child, one friendship, one community at a time.
