Community & Program Focused Volunteer Activities
St.
Lawrence NYSARC, a highly diversified service
organization, offers numerous opportunities for
volunteers in structured day program settings. The
concept of "volunteer matching" is the guiding principle
in delivering positive experiences for our volunteers
and program participants. Opportunities may
include, but are not limited to, special one-time
presentations, educational tutoring, recreational
activities, classroom assistance, and sharing special
talents. Long-term, caring relationships are often
the outcome of these special volunteer experiences.
Enthusiasm, energy, and enjoying people are our only
requirements.
St. Lawrence NYSARC
appreciates the value of community-based activities and
encourages active participation in community integration
that includes: fitness activities, shopping, lunches,
volunteering at other organizations, assisting in
community projects, and establishing community
connections. These are great opportunities for
people who are dynamic, lively, and excited to build new
relationships.
