Volunteer Opportunities

General Volunteer Positions

There are opportunities to become an important part of the life of those we support. We look for people interested in getting to know people with developmental disabilities in the community.


Volunteering is a benefit to the person receiving the support and has a profound impact on the volunteer. Volunteers can help with grocery shopping, transportation, helping to maintain someone’s home or even taking someone out for dinner. Balance could also use help with property management, office tasks, and other needs as they arise.


If you are interested in establishing a new, valued relationship with a person in your neighborhood or community, please contact us.
