Volunteers needed to work with our well- established support group for Young Adults with Disabilities. This "Friendship" group composed of young to middle-aged adults has been part of LDA's (Learning Disabilities Association, Washtenaw Chapter) programming for over over 25 years.
Traditionally we meet about once-a-month either at Tappan Middle School (through Community Education) or at other sites in our community.
If you are looking for a fulfilling volunteer opportunity or for those planning a future in either the field of Health care or Education this would be a valuable experience.
In addition to learning disabilities our members live with a variety of mental and/or physical afflictions ranging from Autism to Down Syndrome to Schitzo Affective Disorder.
We enjoy playing a variety of Board Games as well as "sharing" our zeal for a full life and use our amazing gifts and survival skills to help one another.
Once a year we work together on a volunteer project for St. Francis Church. We make decorations for their annual Christmas Party (to which we are invited). We call our Volunteer Night "Monday Madness".
If you wish to "check us out" please contact Madelon Possley <madelonp@comcast.net> and plan to visit us from 6:00-8:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov 14 at the Cafeteria in Tappan Middle School, Ann Arbor.
