Community Life and Purposeful Work for People with Disabilities
INTERNSHIPS AND VOLUNTEERING WITH US
Each September we welcome a new group of volunteers. Our volunteers come to us from all over the world, creating diverse households in which we grow and learn from one another. These young people come to live and work with people with disabilities, learning practical skills with numerous applications.
They are valuable and indispensable members of the household, offering true friendship and significant support and care for our residents with disabilities. They may start each day with tooth brushing and end with a story. Time is taken to acknowledge the challenges and accomplishments of the day. Coworkers, we can't do it without you!
Coworkers are expected to work for one calendar year. They are provided with free room and board, six weeks of vacation and a stipend for out-of-pocket expenses.
​
Internships with additional pay are also available to US citizens with more experience.
