Volunteer Opportunities

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!

Crafts

Develop and facilitate (with staff or independently) simple creative craft projects for 2-4 Cottage individuals who enjoy crafts, and expressing themselves through craftwork. Craft activities may include, but are not limited to, construction cut-outs, ornament or card making, small stocking gifts, cottage decorating, etc. Craft supplies, within reason, are provided with advanced notice.

Share your passion for reading by reading to a small group of individuals books they enjoy in the following genres: Tween/Young Girl (ex. Twilight series, books by Jane Austen or Nicholas Sparks, Lion, Witch & the Wardrobe series, Harry Potter books, etc.); adventure (ex. Princess Bride, Tolkien’s books, Harry Potter series, CS Lewis); anything young adults enjoy.
