Events
Throughout the year, several events are created for kids and families to take part in. Each event has a different theme to where kids can dress up to match the theme or simply show up and participate in several activities relating to the theme.
Buddy Program
This program involves a PSUN volunteer visiting buddies at their home to spend time with them or PSUN-sponsored events.
The Buddy Program is the only program the focuses on building a lasting, one-on-one, relationship between a child and a collegiate volunteer. We strive to bring community and consistency into the lives of the children we serve and enhance their experience within every program.
Challenger Sports
In our Challenger Program, volunteers are assigned to a buddy to play with. We provide balls and other sports equipment. Our buddies like to play soccer, tag, play toss with each other, etc! This program takes place on a field, so there are soccer goals and a nearby playground.
Family Programs
P.S.U.N at Texas A&M University offers several different family programs for kids and parents. These family programs include Parenting on the Spectrum and Purposeful Life.
PURPOSEFUL LIFE
This program focuses on equipping parents of children with disabilities with the knowledge they need in order to help the whole family lead a more purposeful life. It is a conglomerate of many different associations that work directly with this community. PSUN is involved through providing child care for them and make sure that the parents have the ability to focus completely on the class. |
PARENTING ON THE SPECTRUM
There is a weekly parent support meeting in which parents get a chance to build a network and interact with others that are apart of this community. For the duration of the meeting, we will watch the children and play games, color, and have fun! |
