Classroom and Community Outing Helper
Volunteer with our Villagers in the classroom to help support them and increase their circle of friends! The Kyle Brusatori Multipurpose Center is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and you are welcome to volunteer any time during the day. As a classroom helper, you will assist Villagers with activities such as reading, math, hand-over-hand learning, cooking lessons, and playing bingo and other games.
We also need volunteers to accompany our Villagers on community outings as an extra pair of eyes and ears. Outings may include bowling, area attractions such animal or amusement parks, the movies, restaurants, and more. All volunteers are supervised and supported by a staff member.
