St. Lawrence NYSARC is a private-not-for-profit
agency primarily serving people with mental retardation and
other developmental disabilities. The agency offers a variety
of services focused on education and training, rehabilitation,
clinical care, vocational opportunities, residential options,
family support, etc. We strive toward the principle of assisting
each person with a disability in becoming as independent
as possible.
Using the concept of "volunteer matching," volunteers
help
"consumers:"
· in a variety of fitness and recreational activities
· as escorts for shopping or field trips
· as educational tutors
· as classroom aides
· with lunches
· in other community projects
· establish community connections
Enthusiasm, energy, and enjoying building new
relationships are our only requirements. Time commitment
varies depending on the activities and interests of the volunteer.
NYSARC professional staff will provide training as needed.
Volunteers need their own transportation.
