Seattle BrainWorks is a community based organization that offers support and skill building for individuals with traumatic brain injury. Participants are encouraged and assisted to fulfill their individual goals and pursuits in a safe and supportive community. BrainWorks offers vocational programs, independent living skill programs and personal and educational enrichment opportunities.
As a volunteer, you would assist staff in assisting members towards their goals through one-on-one assistance. This could be helping a member work on their reading/reading comprehension, developing computer skills, learning social skills/boundaries, cooking and much more. This role involves some administrative support as well through special projects assigned by staff and member outreach.
No experience is necessary, but a background in occupational therapy, physical therapy, counseling, rehabilitation or a similar field is desired. Interest in brain injury and leadership skill is also preferred. The minimum requirements that SBW is looking for in volunteers are at follows: Volunteers are available at least 1 day a week with at least a 3 month commitment.

Mission Statement
Supporting People with Disabilities to Fulfill Their Life Choices.
Description
At PROVAIL, we see a world where all people live life based on their own choices and we work toward a community that maximizes accessibility and inclusion of all. We are dedicated to the three focus areas; Mobility & Communication, Employment, and Home & Lifestyle. Through these areas, PROVAIL supports people with disabilities to access the tools and technology they need to communicate and interact with their community, obtain community-based paid employment, and gain access to the home and lifestyle options of their choice.
Our programs meet critical needs and address gaps in services for the disability community. We provide services for children, youth, and adults with a broad-range of disabilities - including those with complex support needs, for whom service options and resources are often limited.
