We offer social events for our members with intellectual and developmental disabilities on the first Friday of every month (September through June only) as a way for them to engage with other individuals and gain exposure to unique activities and opportunities. Each First Friday is based on a theme to attract and liven the lives of these individuals.
As a volunteer, you will be asked to encourage self-esteem, independence and to practice cristical social skills. Most events take place at the Delaware County Intermediate unit in Morton, Delaware County PA.
A free background check and brief interview is required.
