The Friendship Link is a value added service provided by ATCIC (Integral Care) which matches adult volunteers with adults served in Integral Care's Intellectual Disabilities Division for community-based recreation and leisure activities. The volunteer is required to use his or her own vehicle for community-activities with mileage reimbursement at .53 per mile. Activity cost are reimbursed every other week.
The adults seeking a new friend are all ambulatory (no wheel chairs due to liability), have generally good social skills, but are socially isolated for various reasons. Volunteers set their own schedules with their new friend. A minimum of a year-long committment is required.
