“The
Recreational Therapy Department of Madison House is currently looking for
volunteers at their Arc of the Piedmont site for the Spring semester. Anyone is
welcome to apply! Students who are interested in health care careers such as
rehabilitation therapy, specially physical and occupational therapy, medicine,
and nursing are highly encouraged. Medical schools and health care career
programs certainly regard recreational therapy as a respected and unique
volunteer and clinical experience!
Volunteers at
the ARC experience one-on-one, direct patient contact and develop meaningful
relationship with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities
through conversations and participation in recreational activities. This is
also a great opportunity to explore the Charlottesville community! Arc of the
Piedmont is located near the Downtown Mall and accessible by the CAT Bus 7 and
Downtown trolley. Volunteering only requires one hour per week.
One hour of
your time can definitely create a huge difference in the lives of the people we
support at the Arc of the Piedmont. I, myself, have gotten so much out of
volunteering with the ARC in the last three years, and had an awesome
experience working with wonderful people!
Please don't
hesitate to contact me for more information, and feel free to check out Arc of
the Piedmont on their own website or through Madison House.
