Volunteer
Opportunities - 2006
Each year, over 200 people volunteer at the
Clermont County Board of MRDD. These volunteers assist the people we serve to enjoy active
and meaningful lifestyles through day programs, evening activities, and
weekend social events.
There are four categories for volunteers at MRDD: Teens (ages
12-18), Agency (18 years of age and
up), Leadership (for those who serve
on board or committees), and Groups (youth groups, high school groups,
Ladies Legion Auxiliary, and American Legions).
Community activities are for all teenagers and adults who are
enrolled in
an MRDD program, ages 13 and up. These activities
include trips to local museums, dances, karaoke parties, and much more.
Volunteers make these activities a success by hosting a dance, acting as
a mentor, and helping people become involved in their community.
To become a volunteer, you must meet
with the
Director of Community Relations
and Information, fill out the appropriate application form, and
complete a background check through the Bureau of Criminal
Identification and Investigation (for all volunteers 18 and up).
Once through the application process, volunteers can choose a position
and start their volunteer experience.
