Community Companions
Community Companions empower individuals with developmental disabilities through evening or weekend 45-minute visits, one or two times per week to broaden common interests through conversation and participation in shared interests/hobbies to develop long-term friendships and camaraderie.
We have several individuals who are seeking to share their interests and hobbies with you!
What interests do you have in common with them?
Group Activities
Join a small group that shares common interests and hobbies you have – birds of a feather flock together!
