Network Friend 2024-6 - Volunteer to Build A Friendship with a person with diverseabilities
Impact Statement
The mission is to support people, with all disabilities, to live with dignity, independence and as equal and full participants in the community. It champions issues affecting the lives of people with disabilities through its direct services, community partnerships, advocacy, research and publications.
Description
We are looking for a peer volunteer who is interested in building a committed friendship with an independent woman in her mid-20s. She is very interested in role-playing games, but has a wide variety of other interests including anime, arts and crafts, many games, movies and hanging out with friends. She would prefer to visit in person since she has a lot of online contacts already. In friendships she finds it at times difficult to stay in touch, despite her interest in the relationship and would need a friend who is persistent in reaching out. A new friend should be active and outgoing, and could commit to monthly hang-outs.
COVID-19 Vaccination Required
Yes
