About The Arc of the Capital Area: Volunteer Details

No matter how you are involved, you are making a difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities!

Group Volunteering Needs:
The Arc of the Capital Area provides unique volunteer opportunities for a wide variety of organizations including communities, schools, and companies. Groups up to 20 members can be a part of activities like giving individualized assistance in learning sessions, gardening, yoga, gessoing, preparing for art exhibitions, and participating in special events. Most importantly, volunteers can make meaningful connections with our students, both as a group and as individuals.

- Art & Education Assistant – you would assist the classroom instructors in the project outlined, creating a safe and inclusive educational environment by conversing with students, encouraging students’ independence, and helping with tasks that aid the flow of the coursework. Shift times: between 9:00 am – 2:15 pm


- Educational Workshop – We want to open students to others’ hobbies, skills, business experience, etc. This could be a 1-2 hour workshop about a hobby, professional skill set, your passion for the environment, what you know about fixing cars or starting your own business! Available Times: Between 9:00 am to 1:30 pm

- Mentorship with individual students to help the students grow. This may be in the Art studio if you have an art skill, or it could be in a life-skills class, such as gardening, career education, or health & wellness. Mentors are like Assistant Instructors, but they focus their time on just one student, getting to know them in particular.

On the Board of Directors, you and your fellow Board Members are responsible for setting strategic direction, safeguarding financial health, and maintaining the organization’s commitment to its mission. This involves ensuring that the non-profit’s assets are used appropriately and that it remains accountable to its donors, beneficiaries, and the general public, staying informed of the non-profit’s legal obligations, and proposing, approving, and regularly reviewing the organization’s policies and guidelines that govern how it operates.
