Do I need a Special Skill to Volunteer?

Many people think in order to work with children with special needs, they must possess a broad range of skills or be “super-human.” However, the truth is as long as you have a desire, commitment and compassion, this type of work does not require any extraordinary skills. A medical professional is on staff to attend to the medical needs of the children.

The primary responsibility of our volunteers is to provide nurturing care to our children, while exhibiting Christ-like love  to the child and family. You will be responsible for maintaining a clean and safe environment for the child and assisting him or her in scheduled activities.

Volunteer Responsibilities

Volunteers work closely with the Respite Care Ministry Coordinator. If you have volunteered to work directly with the children and are working the entire shift, we ask that you arrive 30 minutes early to help arrange rooms for the night’s activities. It is also requested that you stay until every child has been picked up and assist in cleaning up afterward.

The Rewards

The love and gratitude you will receive in reciprocation as a result of your working with disabled children and their families will live long in your heart and memory. By working with children who have disabilities and special needs, you will acquire great knowledge about the difficulties the disabled population in our community face. The more time you devote to the ministry, the more you will discover how great the need is for respite care. It can truly mean the difference between success and breakdown in many families!
