Volunteer

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.

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.
