Touching Lives In A Vital & Meaningful Way!

The ARC of Martin County offers Rewarding Opportunities for Volunteers who are willing to enhance the lives and opportunities of children and adults with developmental disabilities.

Develop talents, gain experience, and most of all play a vital role in helping people with disabilities achieve their goals, dreams and desires for a full and productive life.

Who makes a good volunteer?

Volunteers are a unique group of people who have committed themselves to the mission of an organization.  They have zeal and a passion for making a difference and they can do more for an organization than the most efficient staff.  A volunteer must be zealous, dedicated, tireless, hopelessly optimistic and steadfast in character and integrity.  Who makes a good volunteer? 

YOU DO!

 

The ARC of Martin County Wants To Make The Best Use Of Your Time And Talents!

Let The ARC of Martin County provide you with the training and support necessary to make your volunteer experience educational and rewarding.

What Commitment Is Expected Of A Volunteer?

• Only volunteer for duties that you are qualified or willing to perform,

In many cases, especially if you will be working directly with the children or adults we support, volunteers will be required to complete a criminal background check prior to commencing their volunteer assignments.
