Advanced Employment Become a Mentor to an adult who has a Developmental Disability.


ACE Every individual should be able to partake in the community. Integration in the community leads to positive changes in self-esteem. This self-confidence is seen in the workplace and in other aspects of participant’s lives.

Community involvement has included:
  • classes
  • sports
  • movies
  • tours
  • dinner
  • shopping

    Mentors are vital for the ACE Program to be effective. The opportunity is on-going. We accept volunteers anytime throughout the year. The days & times are flexible. We do ask for a 1 year time commitment.

It provides a home environment with one-on-one specialized attention that is needed by animals in order to heal, grow-up, learn to love people, and flourish. More info at http://www.angelswish.org/volunteer.html.
