Opportunity Details

2022-2023 Craft Project Assistants

The Extended Family ​provides meaningful activities for adults with intellectual or physical disabilities in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Activities include creating hand-decorated boxes, key rings, tote bags, and other gifts that can then be donated to essential workers. Other projects include weighing and packing dried ingredients that can be donated to food pantries. These sessions take place both in-person and online (via Zoom).

Volunteers are needed to assist project facilitators with these activities. This is a great opportunity for college students as well as retired teachers, especially those with experience in special education!

  • Be able to monitor and appropriately respond with guidance and support
  • Be comfortable with technology
  • Have experience with IDD/PD population (helpful, but not essential!)
