About This Chance

Volunteers are matched with individuals who have an intellectual disability. Matches are based on mutual availability, preferences, interests and compatibility. Examples include going to movies/theater, bowling, watching local sporting events, shopping, joining a club or group together, or just meeting up for coffee and conversation.

We will match your unique talents, availability, preferences and personality with an individual to help him/her fulfill their goals, grow skills and increase community participation.



Volunteers act as mentors, companions, teachers and coaches.
