Give the greatest gift of all – your time! Midland offers opportunities for groups to volunteer for a full or half day or on an on-going basis. Volunteers can work indoors alongside our adults completing contract work or by beautifying our campus and grounds.
For the safety of everyone, all volunteers must:
- be over the age of 18
- complete our Volunteers and Visitors Pledge of Confidentiality form.

Indoor Volunteer Opportunities
The Patricia Murphy Work Center, located on our campus, trains and employs adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Volunteers at the Work Center work side-by-side with our adults doing contract work. There is a lot of interaction with adults, and the work varies every day. Past jobs include assembling loose-leaf manuals, inserting a toy in the plastic container for vending machines and assembling corporate mailings. Volunteers serve as quality control managers and also perform the work tasks. There is a limit of a maximum of 6 indoor volunteers.
Outdoor Volunteer Opportunities
We are located on a beautiful tree-filled campus with more than 50 acres, and always have a need for outdoor volunteers. We have fall cleanup, which involves the raking and weeding of our beautiful tree-filled playground known as “Rainbow Land.” Fall volunteers are also needed to stain and seal the wooden playground equipment. In the spring and summer, groups are needed to weed the playground, mulch flowerbeds, and complete other beautification projects. The number of outdoor volunteers needed varies by season but is capped at 12 people per visit.
Directions
We ask that all volunteers report to the double-door entrance without the flagpole – there will be a red lawn sign directing volunteers to the correct door. Please park up the hill and NOT in a numbered bus slot closer to the building. Please dress comfortably and wear closed toe shoes for both indoor and outdoor activities.
