Current Volunteer Opportunities:

• Drivers wanted! Many of the individuals we support need a ride to get to and from medical appointments, self advocacy meetings, and adult education classes.  If you are able to help out with transportation, please contact Shauna Clay at 301-663-0909 ext.40 or email her at SClay@arcfc.org for a volunteer application.
• We need volunteers to help at our front desk!  Although we have started using voice mail, we are looking for volunteers to assist us at our front desk to greet visitors and answer an occasional "operator" phone call.  Thanks to our dedicated volunteers, most mornings are now fully covered but afternoon volunteers are especially needed.  Also, volunteers are needed for occasional on-call backup coverage (great for someone with other commitments who is only available to fill in).  No experience is necessary, but the ability to maintain confidentiality is a must.  Professional personal presentation, please.  Please contact Shauna Clay at 301-663-0909 ext.40 or email her at SClay@arcfc.org for a volunteer application and for more information.
  
• Volunteers for our monthly Parents' Day Out Program -- One Saturday per month, August through June we provide 4 hours of respite time for parents and children. This is a great opportunity for teens, college students, and adults to help children with disabilities while having a lot of fun. Training is provided. Please contact Angela at 301-663-0909 ext. 27 for a volunteer application.
• Do you enjoy sharing your time and activities?  You will meet someone who shares your interests and would enjoy going with you to the movies, concerts, shopping, the library or sight seeing. You may simply relax with a picnic and a visit to a local park.  Friendships are welcome!
• Volunteer to share your expertise.    Volunteer mentors are always appreciated! Could you help someone learn about your favorite hobby or skill? Any life skill that you would like to share with another could be helpful.  Some examples are:
    - Cooking skills
    - Computer skills
    - Photography
    - Art
    - Budgeting
