                                          Fall 2014 and a new semester!

This semester I will be volunteering at a center for developmentally disabled adults in Northeastern Montana. There is a new director at the center, a new attached building, and other exciting things I am privileged to be a part of! I am excited to participate at the center. 
1.         The volunteer project:
I will be working with developmentally disabled individuals in a variety of duties; laundry services, activities, learning about the organization, and any other area the executive director feels is needed.  The end of summer brings the “Master Gardeners” responsibilities, which I will assist with.  
2.         Who are the recipients of this service?
 Developmentally disabled adults.                                              
3.          Learning objectives.
a. Describe and review if there are any new or changed learning skills staff has implemented to prepare residents for paid employment.
b. Identify and review if there have been any different and/or new vocational skills taught at the activity center put into place to make independent life financially possible for residents.
c. I will investigate and define what is needed to assist residents at the activity center that is not currently present. 
d. I will recognize and review community resources and/or sponsors the activity center has in place that assists with their operation, and if there are any new partners.
e. I will explore and then arrange at least one new resource/sponsor/partner, from the community to assist with the activity center; specifically related to the new addition being worked on.
