WE NEED MALE VOLUNTEERS!

 

We are searching for individuals who are willing to spend some time with an adult that has a developmental disability, ESPECIALLY MALES. The Arc  has individuals with disabilities who have identified themselves as needing a friend and we are now recruiting volunteers to participate in what we are hoping will become a full fledged movement!

The commitment is serious - we would like for you to volunteer your time at least once a month, if not twice a month for a full year. We are of course, hoping this will become more of a friendship to you as well and less of a volunteer commitment so that you will continue your relationship with this person as you would continue any relationship you have with your current friends.

If you are interested in participating the process will be as follows:

Fill out a volunteer application

Submit to a criminal back-ground check
Attend an orientation & informational session

Meet your new friend and have fun!

Please let us know if you are interested by calling Lauren at 704-332-4535 x 102


This could change your life in ways you never thought possible, all while changing the life of someone who is in need. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration.

 

 

What if The Arc of Mecklenburg earned a penny every time you searched the Internet?  Well, now we can!

GoodSearch.com is a new search engine that donates half its revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate.  You use it just as you would any search engine, and it's powered by Yahoo!, so you get great results.

Just go to http://www.goodsearch.com and be sure to enter The Arc of Mecklenburg as the charity you want to support. Just 500 of us searching four times a day will raise about $7300 in a year without anyone spending a dime! And, be sure to spread the word!

You can also make GoodSearch your homepage or download the toolbar!
