Volunteers are needed to lead a small group activity along with eQuality staff of approximately 8 adults with disabilities in an area of your choice (arts, crafts, science, dance, drama, music, theater, nutrition, sports, health, exercise, cultural experiences, teach ASL, etc. The list of possibilities is endless. Let us know what you would like to do, and we'll see if it's a good fit!)
The classes are informal - jeans, sweats and shorts are allowed, no suit or tie required - and generally run between 1 & 2 PM M-F. Locations are Plymouth, St. Louis Park, Maple Grove and Eden Prairie Community Centers. Opportunities exist throughout the year. Visit with us once, weekly, or however often you like. Our associates (the people we serve) love interacting with new people from the community and your time and sharing of your talent is greatly appreciated!
