Volunteering

Gifts of time and talent are always welcomed and they make a strong impact!  Family-to-Family Mentors – individuals who have a son, daughter, sister or brother living with disability – volunteer to assist another family experiencing a similar situation. See the Family-to-Family section of our website to learn more about being a mentor and the many ways volunteers offer family-to-family support.   Family leaders also volunteer time to put together their stories for inspiring others. They are often supported by other families who listen and help create their story. Family-to-family support happens in a variety of ways! Please contact us if you have are interested in becoming a mentor or would like to volunteer in other ways.
