They live in a Group Home, in the community or at Southbury Training School. All of them would like to expand their circle of friendships and develop friendships outside of the place where they live. Volunteers are asked to make a six month commitment once the match has been made. You and the person you have been matched with can arrange to get together either once a month or once a week, depending on your schedule. Volunteers are trained and given on-going support through the agencies involved in the program.
Contact is made with the volunteers on a regular basis.
