"Camp Yes And" and "Yes And Improv Classes" create a safe place for autistic teens and educators to loosen up and be themselves. The instructors show educators how to use improv as a teaching tool and coach them as they apply these skills by offering fun camps and classes for youth on the spectrum. As everyone laughs together, teens develop stronger social skills, gain confidence, and form friendships—often for the first time in their lives. Educators rediscover their sense of play and learn a whole new approach to the classroom.
This month, there is a fundraiser to support these free programs that can be found at:

This Wednesday, April 19, would be an ideal day to make a donation. It’s IU Day, and the fundraising campaign that receives the greatest total number of donations will be given $5K by the IU Foundation. So, even a $1 donation would be a huge help!
Another way to support these programs is to enjoy at show at ComedySportz Indianapolis on April 26. It will be an all-ages improv comedy show, and ComedySportz will donate 100% of ticket sales and auction items to Camp Yes And’s camps and classes. More information and tickets are available at: https://cszindy.vbotickets.com/event/Camp_Yes_And_Fundraiser/19299.
