VOLUNTEERS WERE USED TO ASSEMBLE BEHAVIOR TOOLKITS FOR THE POPULAR BEHAVIOR CHAT SERIES. VOLUNTEERS WERE ALSO UTILIZED TO HELP IN THE CHILDCARE ROOM TENDING TO CHILDREN WHILE THEIR PARENTS ATTENDED EDUCATION AND SUPPORT PROGRAMS IN ANOTHER ROOM OF THE LIBRARY. DURING THIS PROGRAM YEAR, FAMILIES VOLUNTEERED THEIR TIME IN THE PARENT MATCH PROGRAM SO THAT PARENTS WHO ARE A LITTLE FURTHER INTO A DIAGNOSIS OR CONCERN CAN BE MATCHED AND SHARE EXPERIENCES WITH A FAMILY DEALING WITH A NEW DIAGNOSIS TO PROVIDE A LITTLE EXTRA CAMARADERIE ON THE JOURNEY. IN ADDITION, CONNECTING FOR KIDS IS ABLE TO KEEP PROGRAM COSTS LOW BY HAVING PROFESSIONALS TO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME AS SPEAKERS FOR SPEAKER SERIES AND COFFEE AND CHAT PROGRAMS. LASTLY, VOLUNTEERS WERE USED AT EVENTS INCLUDING A BOWLING FUNDRAISER AT THE ELKS LODGE, ANNUAL FUNDRAISER AND TWO RESOURCE FAIRS. VOLUNTEERS GREETED GUESTS, SOLD RAFFLE TICKETS, HANDED OUT RESOURCE BAGS AND HELPED AS NEEDED DURING THESE EVENTS. |
