Community Living Program

Our Community Living Program houses over 60 adults in 19 community based residences in the Greater Seattle area. Volunteer opportunities range in location from Ballard to Shoreline to the Eastside.

Spend Time with Adults with Disabilities

This is your opportunity to get involved! We are looking for volunteers to enhance our client's lives. We will match you with someone who shares your interest. We offer a variety of options to choose from:

Reader: Read aloud to a client - Come prepared with reading materials but also be open if a client already has something selected. This could be a learning experience, a social interaction or simple enjoyment.

Conversation Partner: Interact socially with a client by "chatting" with them. This is an opportunity for a client to practice using a communication device or simply practice communicating with an outside member of the community. This will help develop social skills and help clients gain confidence in their interactions in the community.

Craft or Activity Partner: Participate in arts and crafts with a client or in any activity the client expresses interest in. This can be anything from painting, to scrapbooking to sculpture and everything in between. The goal is to get the client engaged doing something creative that would bring them enjoyment.

Pet Companion: Bring your very friendly pet over to a client's hosue where the client can spend some time interacting with it. This activity would be a social interaction, a confidence builder and would provide something a bit out of the ordinary. (Note: this is not pet therapy).

Home Care Maintenance: Provide regular yard and home maintenance, interior or exterior. This would help keep the client's living environment pleasant year round and improve their quality of life.

Gardening Companion: Help to create or maintain a garden with a client. You should enjoy gardening and have some knowledge that you can contribute to make the garden a success. The goal is to assist clients who are interested in gardening and create enjoyable creative spaces that they can feel proud of.
