SASO inspires and mobilizes

boys and their mothers

to provide service and leadership that positively impacts the local communities.

Membership drive is closed for the 2024-25 SASO year.

Unfortunately, we are at capacity and can't accept any more applications.

Thanks to all who've renewed and joined, what an amazing response!

Thank you to everyone who picked up your lanyards! Hopefully everyone is all set now. If not, email us at sasoboysmembership@gmail.com and we will do our best to arrange for pick up.

New members, welcome!

Please review our top 10 guidelines below.

**You need to invite your sons to create accounts. You recently received an email with the instructions.

**Also we are recruiting for a few board member spots (Philanthropy, Communication, Secretary) and would love to welcome new members/freshmen moms into these roles. More info was provided by email. Please consider joining us!

 Returning members, thanks for supporting SASO!

** If you can't see events, you need to update your info for the 2024-25 SASO year. Simply click on My Info (also under quick links), review your info, update if needed, and save.

Please review top 10 SASO guidelines:

1. SASO year starts 6/1 and ends 5/31 of following year. Access to membership application begins 5/1.
2. Download the membership toolkit app from the app store.
3. SASO t-shirts or lanyards must be worn to all volunteer events.
4. PVSA applications will be accepted from 6/1-9/30. Please check the PVSA tab for more information.
5. Check website/app for new events often! Please read our email updates too.
   
6. PLEASE do your best to sign up for events that you are committing to attending. Our philanthropies rely on us for help, and last minute cancellations leave everyone scrambling. If something unexpected (like an illness) comes up, please try to find a replacement. If you are unable to find someone, and you can't make the event, email the SASO contact, giving as much notice as possible. Also copy sasoboysmembership@gmail.com.
7. After completing an event, record your son's hours. Mothers don't need to record hours. See quick link in box on right side of home page.
   
8. Mothers and sons must participate together in 3 events to be eligible for renewal. After you've completed 3 events together, boys are welcome to volunteer under another mother's supervision.
   
9. Follow, prioritize us on Facebook (facebook.com/saso.ct)
10. We saved the best for last! Review the SASO Member Checklist. Check out our FAQs.

 
EVENT SIGNUP TIPS:

Please review all links on events page! Events are added frequently while links may look the same.

1. "Volunteer Opportunities" link contains a listing of one-time events which updates often
2. Recurring opportunities are listed individually by philanthropy
3. FYI: you will see a green check next to events where you've volunteered.
   
4. Some events will require you to sign up on both the SASO website and the participating philanthropy's sign up sheet. You will see when this is needed in event description. Please read all event info carefully and follow instructions given.

Thank you for your support of SASO and we look forward to volunteering together!

Best,

Meg and Steph
