At this organization we work with people who have a mental illness and/or a developmental disability. We focus on community and social integration through education. Our approach to teaching community and social integration will help our client’s foster self-efficacy all while being able to make decisions towards an independent life. There are several different volunteer options that we can offer. We are interested in volunteers that have skills in seeking and sourcing out funds for grants, public speaking skills for outreach campaigns and fundraising, as well as being able to locate resources within the community. Other compilations of skills will be taken into consideration.

Mission Statement
Mission Statement: Teaching those with developmental disabilities to live independent lives in their community so that they can be their own person, live their own lives, and experience the joy of doing so. Program Philosophy: D.E.S.I. believes the approaches to teaching individuals with developmental disabilities should foster autonomy and self-esteem. Allowing clients to engage in problem solving skills is allowing them to make choices towards an independent life. The process of learning is by giving opportunities to discover and understand the community one lives in.
