EDUCATIONAL ADVOCATES
If you are a parent of a child in special education, have experience as a special educator, or have legal experience, we would love to have your expertise on our educational advocate team. Many families cannot afford to hire an advocate to ensure their child is getting the proper education. So, we provide volunteer advocates to help navigate IEP meetings, establish appropriate accommodations, and to help develop goals and objectives. This typically requires a few hours during a weekday.
MINISTRY TEAM | LOCAL CHURCH
One of our goals is to help local churches establish special needs and disability ministries. In order for these ministries to be effective, most of them need volunteers. If you want to be part of an ongoing weekly ministry team, we can help you get connected with a church in your area.

We offer a curriculum based weekly lesson in group homes or bible studies that meet in various communities each week. This is a weekly or bi-weekly commitment with the same group to discuss the word of God.

Many people with disabilities do not have reliable, affordable transportation options. If you love to drive, we would love to have you as part of our transportation team.

We create teams of accountability partners for each of our adults with disabilities. Be part of a team that is helping an individual accomplish their life goals.
Our community is a constantly growing community and we love to gather together! If you are a great host, and love inviting people into your home or love planning community get togethers, we want you as a life group host. This volunteer role is at least a quarterly commitment.
