Thanks & Giving Celebration (all ages) Referral
Volunteer Opportunity
Help create a welcoming and inclusive community gathering by greeting guests and engaging with children, seniors, adults with disabilities, and caregivers to foster connection and belonging.
About the Program
Miah Families mission is to ignite hope and belonging through regular connection among children, families, seniors, caregivers, and adults with disabilities.
About the Project
Volunteers will help complete the mission by making the guests feel welcomed, connected, and thriving for the afternoon.
Volunteers for the day will help with the set-up and take-down of the event. They will be stationed at either a food/snack table, a craft table, a game table, the welcome table, or as a greeter. Each volunteer will make the guests feel welcomed for the meet-up. One main role of the volunteer, is to walk around and engage with the guests. Miah works with adults with disabilities, seniors, children, and the caretakers.
Volunteers will learn skills in communicating with people other than themselves. They will learn to interact with adults with disabilities, seniors, and children. The goal of the meet-up is for group involvement, that better together is better than being alone.
