Thurston County Inclusion General Volunteer Information Program Goals Thurston County Inclusion’s mission is to provide opportunities for youth of all abilities to create, form and strengthen relationships that will last a lifetime. It is our hope that through our camp and year-round activities, participants will form relationships with their peers, meet others with different abilities, be active and outside, and experience new opportunities. We use volunteers to make this mission possible. Without your help, we would not be able to accomplish this mission. Application Process Interested volunteers need to complete the volunteer application on our website. Send the PDF application to Pam@thurstoncountyinclusion.org or complete digitally. Once this has been completed, interested volunteers will need to pass a background check. The background check needs to be completed once every three years. After you submit your application, you will receive an email from a Thurston County Inclusion staff member letting you know your application has been accepted and next steps for volunteer training. If you do not receive an email from a TCI staff member after 1 week of submitting please contact Samantha@thurstoncountyinclusion.org Volunteer Time Commitment We offer flexible volunteering. Select an event or camp day that fits your schedule. How to Sign-Up to Volunteer Once you have completed the application process, you will be added to the volunteer mailing list. You will be emailed when opportunities to volunteer are available and/or you can check our website as we post our events and volunteer opportunities there Under our "Volunteer" Tab. It will usually give you a more specific breakdown of volunteer needs and the week before you will receive an email about what to expect for volunteering for that upcoming event. Volunteer Roles We have many volunteer roles available and encourage volunteers to try out different roles. Roles include group leader for activities and events in which we split our participants up into groups, station leader such as art or music etc, one-on-one support (helping some of our higher need participants navigate through our activities and events) and photographer. There will also be opportunities throughout the year to volunteer behind the scenes for those who may be interested.

Our mission is to provide opportunities for individuals of all abilities to create, build, and strengthen relationships that will last a lifetime.

Description

Thurston County Inclusion was founded in 2019 with the goal to bring youth (ages 5 through 21) with and without intellectual disabilities together for year round engagement in order to support peer connections and relationships. Some example programs that we will run include summer camps that are accessible and inclusive, programs to form mentorships between older and younger people with disabilities, and be a general location for peers to connect.
