Volunteer with us

Our respite program runs September through April, with respites on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month (excluding holiday weekends).

Volunteers need to arrive by 4:00 to the church where respite is held. Respites run until 7:30.

As a respite volunteer, you will get a text message from Assistant Director, Kaitlyn Hanshaw, before each respite asking if you are available to volunteer that weekend. You do not have to volunteer at every respite, we would love to have you whenever, or however often, you are willing and able. At respite you will be paired with a buddy who you will spend your night with. Your buddy may have special needs, or be a sibling to someone who has special needs.

To be added to Kaitlyn’s volunteer list, please send her an email at asnmhanshaw@gmail.com

Night to Shine happens once every February. This is a prom night experience for individuals with special needs. This is a huge event where we welcome hundreds of guests.

At Night to Shine, you can volunteer to help with: the food team, the karaoke team, the photo booth team, the parent-respite room, or serve as a one-on-one buddy.

While respites and Night to Shine are our main events, we host an annual talent show, park nights, picnics, and much more. We are always looking for volunteers for these events!

Please contact asnmhanshaw@gmail.com to learn more ways you can serve, and to be put on our “text list” which ensures your will get notified about our opportunities to serve.
