SRVS AMBASSADOR CLUB
Opens the Door to Volunteer Opportunities for People with Developmental Disabilities

What is the Ambassador Club?
The Ambassador Club is a new volunteer club started at SRVS, a non-profit United Way agency which supports people with developmental disabilities. It was created by and for people with developmental disabilities as a way to bring meaningful volunteer opportunities to the service recipients at SRVS. The members of the Ambassador Club are adults aged 18 and above who want to help others in need by contributing to their communities as volunteers or ambassadors of good will. Each volunteer is accompanied by a direct support staff.

Ambassador Club Mission Statement
To provide members the opportunity to volunteer in their communities and to promote recognition and acceptance of individuals with developmental disabilities.

What types of activities can the members participate in?
The members are looking for a variety of ways to experience life and volunteer their time and talents. They are interested in being door greeters, cheerleaders at events, ticket takers and nursing home companions. They can assist animal shelters, pass out event or museum flyers and brochures, help with transporting food and items, delivering meals, collecting donated goods and directing people to activities and events. They are willing and able to volunteer for just about any event or activity! Please help these ambassadors fulfill their dreams of giving back to their communities by helping others!
