Indoor Volunteer Opportunities

The Patricia Murphy Work Center, located on our campus, trains and employs adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Volunteers at the Work Center work side-by-side with our adults doing contract work. There is a lot of interaction with adults, and the work varies every day. Past jobs include assembling loose-leaf manuals, inserting a toy in the plastic container for vending machines and assembling corporate mailings. Volunteers serve as quality control managers and also perform the work tasks. There is a limit of a maximum of 10 indoor volunteers.

Outdoor Volunteer Opportunities

We are located on a beautiful tree-filled campus with more than 50 acres, and always have a need for outdoor volunteers. We have fall cleanup, which involves the raking and weeding of our beautiful tree-filled playground known as "Rainbow Land." Fall volunteers are also needed to stain and seal the wooden playground equipment. In the spring and summer, groups are needed to weed the playground, mulch flowerbeds, and complete other beautification projects. The number of outdoor volunteers needed varies by season. Please contact the Foundation Office to determine the maximum number needed.

Directions

We ask that all volunteers report to the double-door entrance without the flagpole - there will be a red lawn sign directing volunteers to the correct door. Please park up the hill and NOT in a numbered bus slot closer to the building. Please dress comfortably and wear closed toe shoes for both indoor and outdoor activities.

For any further information, please contact our Foundation Office.

Mission Statement

Midland’s mission is to promote personal achievement and foster independence for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) by providing a range of innovative programs. We are committed to providing a diverse array of innovative and exceptional educational, employment and support services that are highly individualized, community based, and designed for the lifespan of individuals.

Description

Based in Central NJ, Midland is a NJDOE-approved, non-profit, 501 (c) (3) organization that provides a lifelong continuum of services to children, teenagers, and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and their families. We are unique in our ability to accommodate a range of disabilities, and are recognized as a leader in the delivery of services to individuals with the most challenging intellectual and developmental disabilities in Northern and Central New Jersey.

Midland focuses on meeting the academic, social, emotional, career, and life needs of the individuals in our care, offering:
  • Highly individualized attention with programming that is flexible and adaptable.
  • A dedicated, attentive, enthusiastic, and experienced faculty and staff.
  • A track record of helping our students and adults achieve positive outcomes. To some, these outcomes may be reaching their academic and social goals, to others it may be returning to a public school classroom, transitioning to competitive employment in their own community upon graduation, or living independently in one of our supervised residential homes.
