Communication Partners work one-on-one with Center members, or in groups to assist group leaders and members in a wide variety of activities designed to enhance the communication skills and psycho-social well-being of our members, including computers and technology, Something Special (jewelry and gift making), art, cooking, games and more.
Special Interest Groups
We need volunteers to assist or lead special interest groups such as art, cards & games, or yoga and other forms of exercise. We are interested in hearing other ideas that volunteers have to offer. This volunteer role is based on the interest of our members.
