    CP Rochester

    Volunteers with CP Rochester support a variety of Recreation Programs such as: horseback riding, bowling, swimming, gymnastics, gym games, group fitness, and power wheelchair soccer. CPRochester needs volunteers to work with both adults and children with developmental disabilities and physical challenges. Volunteers work with special education teachers, Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, Adaptive Physical Education teachers, Music Therapists, and Social Workers. This is also a great opportunity to gain experience in those career areas. Volunteers can work as companions to residents in group homes, assistants in recreation programs, classroom aides, or can provide clerical or special events support. For more information, contact Tina Bennett, volunteer coordinator, at 334-6000 ext. 1321 or e-mail: tbennett@cprochester.org

    Ronald McDonald House - House at Westmoreland

    Whether it’s cooking meals, cleaning and preparing rooms for families, helping in the office, or driving our van, the time you give makes it possible for our families to be with their children during a very difficult time. Special Events volunteers help us raise funds critical to keeping our doors open for families when they need us most. If you are an individual looking for an ongoing opportunity, or part of a group looking for a one-time project, there’s a place for you at the Ronald McDonald House. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old or accompanied by an adult.

    TIES

    Together Including Every Student is a program that promotes the participation of children/young adults with developmental disabilities in extracurricular and community activities with support from trained student volunteers. After volunteers attend a 45-minute training session, they could be paired with participants to join activities together. The commitment is based on your schedule. It could be once a month, a couple of times a month, or more infrequently. More information and application forms are available in the College & Career Center. If you have any questions, contact Doreen Blankenbush, R-H TIES Coordinator, at dblankenbush@rhnet.org.
