Become a FRIENDS Volunteer
Volunteers are very important to FRIENDS. Their commitment to our mission and hours of hard work, allow us to preserve our philosophy, to grow our programs and to increase public awareness.
Volunteering can be fun and rewarding, no matter how you choose to get involved. Whether it is teaching a class, assisting with evening activities, sharing skills and talents helping with the fundraiser activities, any time spent volunteering is appreciated.
Here are some ways you can get involved:
Social Program
Through various activities and environments, FRIENDS enables adults with developmental disabilities 18 years or older to acquire skills such as: socialization, appropriate behavior, independence and choice. FRIENDS holds Men's Night Out, Women's Night Out, FRIENDS Night Out, and FRIENDS Day Out each month. Men's, Women's, and FRIENDS Night out take place in the evening Monday - Friday, typically from 6:00pm - 8:00pm depending on the activity. Our FRIENDS Day Out is usually held on the weekend as the planned activities are longer.

Day Program
Enrolled participants arrive at the FRIENDS facility anticipating an active day consisting of scheduled recreational, educational or cultural activities. These could included classes such as water aerobics, gymnastics, weight training, arts and dance classes and guided open space tours, to name a few. Some of the activities are modified to accommodate the population’s needs and we are out in the fresh air as often as possible.
Day Program Schedule: 10:00am – 3:00pm with one activity in the morning between 10am – 11:30am and one in the afternoon from 1pm – 2:30pm.
