Volunteer

We know that we are stronger together. Disabilities touch us all, and we work with all members of the community to make a profound, positive impact on people’s lives every day.

Looking to make a positive impact in Northeast Indiana? Volunteering with Easterseals Northeast Indiana is a rewarding way to share your skills, time, and passion to support individuals with disabilities. We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities designed to fit your interests, schedule, and expertise. By joining our team, you help create meaningful experiences, foster independence, and strengthen our community.

Share Your Special Skills
Share your talents in art, music, fitness, computer skills, gardening, reading, dance, or any hobby you love. Our participants benefit from one-on-one or small-group sessions that encourage creativity, skill-building, and personal growth. Whether you lead an art workshop or host a gardening club, your guidance can inspire confidence and independence in people with disabilities.

Career Connections
Volunteer to talk about your career path and daily responsibilities to help our consumers explore employment options. By offering job-shadowing insights, resume tips, or mock interviews, you can empower individuals with disabilities to identify strengths, set goals, and prepare for meaningful work opportunities.

Group Projects
Form a team or bring your organization to join us for group volunteer projects such as painting, landscaping, or facility improvements. These hands-on activities not only enhance our campus but also build camaraderie and a sense of accomplishment among volunteers and participants alike.

Special Events
From fundraising walks to community fairs, special events are a great way to lend your support for just a few hours. One standout event is Dancing with the Arc Stars, our annual dance contest that brings together people with disabilities and community partners. Volunteers help make this event memorable and successful. Check our events calendar regularly for dates, times, and volunteer registration details. Your participation at these events raises awareness, promotes community engagement, and generates crucial funding for our programs.
