Volunteer

There is a tremendous need for volunteers in every non-profit organization, and Wendell Foster's Campus for Developmental Disabilities is no different. From simple socialization with the people on campus to actually conducting group or community activities, it takes hands-on support for our people to have maximum life experiences. As a volunteer, you will be trained, provide invaluable support, and leave every day with a feeling of over-whelming satisfaction as you see the smiles of people that truly need you.
