You can help residents with a physical disability gain more independence by assisting them on community outings. Volunteers will help the residents develop, refine and learn new skills, and socialize with others in the community. We are looking for volunteers who have good leadership skills, patience and the ability to problem solve, and who are interested in helping participants gain independence in the community. To receive more information about joining the team contact Lisa Gacek. Duties may include setting up files for new staff, filing records in personnel files, assembling, orientation packets and staff development materials, some computer entry, and assisting with appointments.
Training is provided within the department assigned.
Volunteers are needed to assist residents with adaptive equipment, scoring, retrieving bowling balls, and possibly giving someone a push in their wheelchair. Bowling outings take place at Doyle's Bowling alley in Crystal. Challenge your mind and interact with interesting people. Courage Center needs friendly people to provide reception services to visitors and guests who come to the center. Training about programs and building locations provided.
