  • Availability for 4 to 16 hours per week — we are very flexible with scheduling.
  • Willingness to assist with community outings, recreational activities, and possibly volunteer job coaching.
  • Patience, compassion, and a sense of fun!

About Patrick:

  • Nonverbal but communicates well using his iPad and sign language.
  • Mild-mannered, quiet, and very sweet.
  • Enjoys music, swimming, reading, gymnastics, bike riding, rollerblading, trampoline parks, and more!

If you or someone you know might be a great fit, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d love to connect and share more about this opportunity.
