Description: My husband and I are looking for a caregiver/companion for our 19-year-old son, Adrien, who has Down syndrome and other medical conditions. He requires assistance in several areas, including walking, entertainment, and self-care. We are seeking a candidate who can support him on weekends — ideally for either a full day or a half day.
Adrien requires a lot of help with anything fine-motor related, so that includes help in the bathroom and with bathing/brushing teeth, and getting clothed. Especially interested in speaking with anyone who has experience and the right skills/demeanor!

Looking for students interested in an on-campus volunteering program. Apply to become a volunteer teaching English for the English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program at Tufts Hillel! During the first semester, students will take an online course to be able to receive their ESOL teaching certification. Then, during the second semester, the students will be teaching the adult student learners from the Medford community in-person and on-campus at the Hillel building. No prior teaching experience is required since we’ll provide all the training and support you need. Applications are due September 21st.
You’re With Us! is a non-profit organization and DDS service provider that builds community and belonging among young adults with disabilities.
Description: With the Fall semester approaching, the organization is looking for students who may be interested in a paid opportunity to mentor some participants (typically aged from 22 to 30). As part of the peer mentoring program, the goal is to empower participants to lead more fulfilling and independent lives. This often includes supporting them in job searches, exploring new hobbies, and encouraging opportunities for social inclusion.
The organization is especially looking for male students at the moment, as a few of their participants are hoping to be paired with mentors of the same gender. That said, they are always excited to welcome committed mentors of all backgrounds.

My name is Abby Hare and I’m a Somerville mom and the volunteer coordinator for Somerville Youth Soccer. This Fall, we are bringing TOPSoccer, a program for kids with cognitive and/or physical disabilities, to Somerville. We are looking for volunteers to help coach on Friday evenings in September and October and I was hoping you could ask the students in your program if they had any interest in participating. If they do, they can email me directly (abbyhare627@gmail.com) and I’d be happy to give them more information.
Additionally, if you know of any students (preK-12th) who would be interested in participating in the program, please share the registration link above with them.
Thanks so much!
