Signing up and communicating with Valley Village was easy. They sent out email reminders and simple directions to prepare you for your first day of volunteering. I joined on an outing to the Getty Villa where the clients did a scavenger hunt, and it was pure joy! If your feeling nervous because you have no experience with developmental disabilities, don't! There are plenty of experienced caretakers around at all times. It was my first time with Valley Village and I'm looking forward to signing up for more events.
