Support Young Adults Who Have Disabilities

Support Our Young Adult Community Members

Help us to support young adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities to lead independent and fulfilling lives. Meaningful volunteer opportunities include:

• Event Support Volunteer: Assist our staff-run, popular bi-weekly events with the Shupin Social Club. Events include cooking classes, karaoke, bowling, and movie nights. Volunteer commitment is one event per month, typically on weekday evenings. We are seeking volunteers to support in-person events.
• Shupin Buddy: Be matched with a resident of the Gary Shupin Independent Living Community for a meaningful mentorship based on shared interests and personalities. This program requires a six-month commitment, with the hope that the connection will grow into a lasting relationship.

No prior experience working with adults with disabilities is necessary. All that is asked is an open mind and heart, a willingness to learn, and a volunteer commitment of six months or longer.
