VOLUNTEER

Be a Community Champion!
Volunteers are very special to the Woodlands Foundation. They make a direct impact in helping us to meet our mission of enriching the lives of children and young adults with disability and chronic illness.

What will you do as a volunteer at the Woodlands?

You clear brush, bake cakes, make repairs to our facility, and provide many skills that benefit both our facility and our participants.  In 2008 we had over 800 individual and group volunteers who contributed over 4,500 hours of service! Without you, the Woodlands would not be able to give our participants the experiences they want, need, and deserve.

Group Volunteers: Corporations, Businesses, and Organizations
Your group can make a lasting impression on our participants as well as the community!  Our year-round volunteer opportunities are an excellent way for local corporations, businesses, and organizations to enable their staff to get involved in the community and share their time, energy, and talents to help the Woodlands provide activities that nurture the social, cultural, recreational, environmental, and spiritual well-being of our participants.

This experience is a fantastic way to not only make a direct impact in the lives of individuals with special needs, but is also a great team building exercise.  Volunteering at the Woodlands Foundation creates an atmosphere of camaraderie as you interact with our participants, as well as when you work on projects and activities that help us maintain our fully-accessible facilities.

Individual Volunteers
You can be a community champion all by yourself!  The Woodlands Foundation has many opportunities for you to participate in projects, help with activities, and interact with our participants.  Volunteering is a great way to give back to the community, and the personal rewards and experiences are something you can take with you for the rest of your life.  The Woodlands Foundation greatly benefits from your generous spirit as you give freely of your time and talents.  We would not be able to accomplish all of the wonderful things we do, without our generous and talented volunteers.
