Life and Social Enrichment
♡ SaveAbout this opportunity
MSS is a program that supports adults with disabilities, and we are looking for volunteers who want to help enrich the lives of the people in our programs. Volunteers are wanted to come to our program and engage the people we support in meaningful activities. This could be crafts, cooking, woodworking, gardening, discussing history, book clubs and more. The possibilities are endless and can be centered around your own interests and passions! Any day of the week M-F, any time between 10-2pm. Ideally this could happen weekly for at least one hour, but scheduling is flexible. Volunteers should be outgoing, respectful, and comfortable engaging with people with disabilities. Must pass a background check.
About MSS
We are a nonprofit organization supporting individuals with disabilities, founded in 1949. We were originally known as United Cerebral Palsy of Greater St. Paul, and provided support to children with Cerebral Palsy. Over time, we began serving people with a wide range of disabilities and in 1982, recognizing the diverse needs of the people we support, the Board of Directors voted to discontinue our association with the national organization of United Cerebral Palsy and changed the name to Midwest Special Services. The name was officially changed to MSS in 2018.We operate six locations that span the Twin Cities metro area, designed to support the diverse needs and aspirations approximately 600 individuals who receive services each year. A volunteer Board of Directors guides the agency to continually innovate and adapt. A dedicated group of volunteers assists the 150-person staff, dedicated to helping people reach their individual goals. We empower people to live the life they choose by providing opportunities and developing partnerships built on collaboration and community engagement. We invite you to be a part of our large, open, and inclusive community.
