Volunteer Opportunities

Volun­teer­ing with Jes­sica & Friends Com­mun­ity is an ex­peri­ence that goes well be­yond the in­ves­ted time. It is com­mon for our volun­te­ers to re­mark how the in­dividu­als they as­s­ist end up bless­ing them in ways they never im­agined.

Jes­sica & Friends Com­mun­ity is able to offer many volun­te­er and in­ternship ex­peri­ences. In fact the op­por­tunit­ies are only li­mited by the gifts and talents of our sup­port­ers and the im­agina­tion. Like many non-profits our fin­an­ci­al re­sour­ces are li­mited, so an ac­tive volun­te­er team plays a vital role in help­ing Jes­sica & Friends Com­mun­ity de­liv­er the ex­cep­tion­al ser­vices our in­dividu­als de­ser­ve.

How to Be­come A Volun­te­er

Each poten­ti­al volun­te­er must com­plete a four step pro­cess be­fore volun­teer­ing can begin with our or­ganiza­tion. These steps en­sure the safety of our in­dividu­als and al­lows the volun­te­er to de­ter­mine if our or­ganiza­tion is a good fit with them and their ideas when volun­teer­ing.

Vision

By faith, we strive to ful­fill and pro­claim the good news of the gos­pel by pro­vid­ing ser­vice to famil­ies im­pac­ted by in­tel­lectu­al dis­abilit­ies re­gardless of fin­an­ci­al stand­ing.

 

Mis­s­ion

Pro­vide faith based ser­vices and sup­ports for in­dividu­als and famil­ies with aut­ism and in­tel­lectu­al dis­abilit­ies. We seek to be a com­mun­ity which af­firms the worth of all peo­ple, sup­ports per­son­al growth and whole­ness, ad­vocates for com­mun­ity and church in­clus­ion, and pro­vides op­por­tunit­ies for spiritu­al growth and ser­vice.

Core Values

We value and affirm the inherent dignity, significance and worth of each person regardless of physical capability and intellectual function (Psalm 139:13-16).
