This is the publication or update date of this website record, not the date of the related activity; confirmed activity dates are stated in the article.
On May 31, 2026, Eason and Evan served as youth volunteers in one Move, Run, and Smile! outdoor session organized by AllStars Learning in Lincoln, Massachusetts. This page records that single on-site session as a completed action.
Activity Background
Move, Run, and Smile! uses running, movement games, and interactive activities to help children with special needs participate in physical activity in a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive setting. Shared movement can create opportunities for interaction, confidence, and teamwork.
Running and Participating Together
Eason and Evan joined the running and movement games, accompanied children through the activities, and adapted their encouragement and coordination to different levels and rhythms of participation. They also assisted AllStars Learning staff with on-site activities as needed.
Volunteers and children participate in the running activity together. No participant other than Eason and Evan is identified.
Participants move together while following their own pace through the activity.
Learning Through Companionship
The experience gave them a more concrete understanding that support does not mean completing an activity for someone else. It means noticing another person's pace and using patience, encouragement, and shared participation to help each person join in. Their role was volunteer companionship and on-site support; they did not replace professional staff or provide teaching, therapy, or assessment services.
