The Arc thrives on the contributions of our many volunteers. Currently, there are several opportunities available for those wishing to give of their time. Please call 908-725-8544 for information.

BE A BUDDY!

Many of our adult consumers have limited visits from family and friends to their residence at an Arc apartment or group home. As a buddy, you would be matched with one person and establish a regular visitation schedule, as often as you wish - once a week, once a month - we will help to define a time that works for you and your buddy. Formal activities do not have to be planned - just spending time will make all the difference! Read, take a walk, give a manicure, listen to music - just be a friend. Residents of our programs live in group homes and apartments throughout the county.

WORK CENTER ASSISTANTS

Assist consumers working at work-centers. Centers develop contracts with local corporations - including collating, assembling and mailing. Volunteers are needed to help individual consumers to do their jobs! Hours are extremely flexible and work centers are located throughout the county.

CHILDHOOD PROGRAM AIDES

We have two programs for children with developmental disabilities beyond the school day: the After School Program that runs Monday through Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and our Saturday Respite Program from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. There are staff present at all times in these programs, but more hands would help!
