Common Questions About SE4SK
Our events are for children ages 3 to 19 with special needs and/or disabilities. Siblings, parents, and caregivers are always welcome to attend alongside the registered child.
Nothing — every SE4SK event is completely free. We are funded entirely through donations and fundraising. There is never a cost to families.
Most events take place in southern New Jersey, typically in Camden or Gloucester counties. Specific venues vary by event and are shared when registration opens.
Registration opens on our website when a new event is announced. You can sign up through the events page. Spots may be limited depending on the venue, so registering early is encouraged.
We are always looking for volunteers and supporters! Visit our contact page to get in touch, or reach out on social media. Monetary donations and in-kind sponsorships help us keep every event free.

What Parents Are Saying
Hear from the families whose lives have been touched by SE4SK events.
My daughter has autism and usually struggles at public events. At SE4SK, she was able to participate in everything at her own pace. The volunteers were so patient and understanding — she talks about it for weeks after every event.
