Become A Volunteer Supporter For An Adult with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities

Massachusetts Advocates Standing Strong (MASS)

has launched New Freedom Volunteer Supporter/Driver Project for

self-advocates with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the Greater Boston Area. The goal of this project is to provide accessible and efficient transportation and support for self-advocates to attend their self-advocacy, citizen advisory boards, and human rights/diversity meetings

What We are Looking For?  

ü  Volunteers who can make strong time commitments

ü  People who want to work with the disability community and make a difference

ü  Volunteers who are familiar with the MBTA system and are willing to coach the self-advocate on taking the T

ü  Volunteers with their own vehicles would be great too!

WHY SHOULD YOU VOLUNTEER?

ü  You help Individuals with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities stay independent and active in their community by driving them to their self-advocacy meetings

ü  You ensure individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities have accessible transportation

ü  Your support (assistance and presence) during a meeting or event can enhance the self-advocate’s total experience

ü  You will be reimbursed (if needed) for gas, toll-booths, and/or MBTA costs

Your interest and participation can make a difference in the lives of others!
