We are looking for a volunteer that can contact local agencies to set up educational speakers, outings, recreation activities (music, art, exercise), volunteer opportunities for our families and clients with brain injury and stroke. This can be done virtually however it is highly desired that you come in to the program at least one time to observe how the program works and see the various clients we serve in order to know what types of disabilities and the severity to be able to explain it to the volunteers that you will be recruiting and find appropriate activities. For those who are local, we would love this to be an opportunity that you could actually come in and set up for the different groups, orient the speakers/volunteers and assist in that manner.
