Buddies

A volunteer is matched with an individual based on their specific needs, abilities and interests. By doing so the volunteer encourages social relationships and broadens the individual’s experiences simply be being a friend and spending time with them. Giving your time and experiences can make life for an individual with a disability a little more enjoyable.

Residential Programs

Volunteers spend time one-one-one with individuals within our residential homes or assist in residential group activities and/or outings.

Community Public Relations

As with other non-profit agencies, there is a need for recognition and awareness in the community. Volunteers are needed to participate in events held by the Agency that fundraise and promote a positive community outlook toward acceptance and inclusion of individuals with a developmental disability.
