How to Volunteer

Our activities would not be possible without a great bunch of volunteers who travel with us to ensure the safety of our individuals. Each volunteer is assigned 4-5 individuals for whom they are responsible for caring for and assisting during the trip or event.

We need volunteers to keep score during bowling and miniature golf, to help out at dances and Happy Hours, to act as camp counselors, and to chaperone our one-day trips and our longer adventures.

If you have a special talent that you would like to share, please let us know. If you can swim … we need you. If you sing or play an instrument ,,, we need you. If you have talent in arts and crafts … we need you.

Our volunteers can work anywhere from 2 – 25 hours per week depending on what events we have scheduled. We are always recruiting new volunteers who are dedicated to serving individuals with mental retardation and are patient, friendly, and responsible.

Volunteers are the key to the success of the Recreation Program. If you would like to become a part of this team, please call Susan Borawski at (724) 981-2950, ext. 234 or email sborawski@mercerarc.org.
