- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Older adults with disabilities and younger adults who have age-related disabilities have the same need as anyone else for engagement in meaningful activities and the opportunity to make a contribution within their community. Are you willing to be a champion for these individuals? Are you seeking a bit of perspective on possible career options? Is your immediate community in need of diversification? If any of the above are applicable to you, consider becoming a Day Services Chaperone working alongside our MARI program.
Reporting to the direct Supervisor and or Volunteer Coordinator, the chaperone will help provide a supportive, respectful environment for all residents or clients of Community Involvement Program’s (CIP) Music, Arts, Recreation, and Inclusion (MARI) program. The chaperone will advance CIP’s capacity to further provide a quality community experience for older adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities for whom employment is no longer a priority.
Duties:
- Willingness to engage in conversation with those being served
- Participation in group activities
- Ensure those being served are looked after during special events

Mission Statement
As listeners, learners and leaders, we will stand with and support people with disabilities in their communities as they pursue their personal dreams and goals.
Description
We're here to help people cope with the issues surrounding social injustice, low income, aging, and homelessness -- and, in doing so, to help them live their greatest lives.
Since 1971, we've been meeting people where they are and bringing them what they need to live as independently, creatively, and fully as possible. We offer a variety of services and supports, which have all been developed as a result of listening to and understanding the needs of the people we serve, their loved ones and their communities.
