Volunteer Announcements

Come alongside of DDSO sponsored programs to champion the creativity and potential alive within the hearts, minds, and bodies of disabled adults with dreams! Because DDSO provides safe environments and opportunities that foster positive exchanges and relationships, we can all strive to surpass the expectations we have of ourselves and of others.

Due to State budget cuts, DDSO has to maintain a ratio that doesn't allow for the degree of individualized attention that we would like to give to our participants. By volunteering, YOU give the gift of one-on-one attention to program participants who need it most.

Make a commitment to impact a life --volunteer with DDSO today!
