Volunteers will assist us in our Inclusion Supports program by helping an adult with a developmental disability to engage more with his or her community. This will involve meeting once or twice a week at a library or community event, or for recreation activities, shopping or going out for coffee. Volunteers will help foster community connections and independence, provide friendship and have fun!
