The Douglas Center, a non-profit organization located in Skokie, Illinois, provides day programs for individuals with severe developmental and physical disabilities. The Douglas Center Work Center offers work programs that include light manufacturing, sewing, packaging, assembly shrink-wrapping, labeling, heat sealing, fulfillment services, etc. by partnering with local manufacturers on work contracts/projects. The center offers pre-vocational training as well as developmental rehabilitation for adults of all ages.
We are seeking volunteers to teach and facilitate jewelry-making to adults with disabilities. The classes are held on Wednesdays and Fridays between 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. If you are interested in working with adults living with disabilities, we would love to have you join our team as a volunteer for this personally rewarding work.
