Volunteering with Ability Inclusion Services is a meaningful way to give back to the community while connecting with the incredible individuals we serve. Whether you're sharing a hobby, lending a hand in the home, or joining us on a community outing, your time makes a real difference. You just might walk away with a new perspective and some new friends.
We offer flexible volunteer opportunities across our Day Program, Residential Program, and Community Inclusion services. Here’s how you can get involved:
Day Program Opportunities
Monday – Friday, 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Join us at our Activity Center and share a skill, hobby, or talent with our participants. Volunteers are welcome to assist us or teach one-time or recurring sessions in areas like cooking, art, life skills, music, dance, exercise, or whatever you're passionate about.
Residential Program Opportunities
Weekdays: Monday – Friday, 3:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Weekends: 7:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Residential volunteers help support individuals in their homes or during community activities. This might include cooking meals, going for walks, going to the bowling alley, or simply spending time socializing and engaging.
Community Inclusion Program
Typically Mondays & Fridays, Morning and Afternoon
We offer 4–5 outings per week, exploring places like museums, festivals, local attractions, parks, and more. Volunteers are welcome to join when outings are scheduled (note: admission fees are not covered), offering additional support and companionship along the way.
Group Volunteer Projects
If your group is interested in volunteering, reach out to see what the current needs are. Past group projects have included yard work, painting, and deep cleaning at our residential sites.
Volunteer Testimonial ​
"Volunteering at Ability Inclusion Services has truly been one of the most incredible experiences of my life. What started out as a search for volunteer opportunities on a path towards a medical school application has transformed into meaningful relationships and immense gratitude. I have enjoyed being able to interact with clients helping with things like art projects and playing sports. They have most definitely given more to me than I have offered in return. I have started to notice a difference between the weeks that I am able to attend the Center and the ones which I am not. The radiant positivity extends far outside the walls into every aspect of my life, even things like my academic work and relationships. I feel like this is one of the best volunteering opportunities out there because all you need to do is show up and be a friend and in return you get the love of some of the most genuine human beings you will ever meet. I couldn’t be more pleased with the memories I have made so far and I hope there are many more to come in the years that follow"
