Volunteer Opportunities

Option 1: Family Volunteering
The Family and Youth Newsletter will send opportunities for families and their kids to get involved at ESP! Common events include volunteering at monthly ESP Family Dinners, Celebration Days, or serving at our holiday ESP Family Events.

Option 2: The ESP Leadership Experience
Students will learn how to celebrate, communicate, and engage with people of all abilities. Our mission relies on building up the next generation and this opportunity fulfills that need while providing them with leadership experience and training. 

Applications for our ESP Leadership Experience are open now! Apply below:

Middle school, High school, and college students can sign up to be a “buddy” to our participants with developmental disabilities through our year-round 360 programs.  Students can volunteer for Afternoon Programs in the Fall and Spring, Weekend Club Events, or Summer Camp. Afternoon programs require a 12-week commitment for the entire semester and training. Weekend club events are one-time commitments where you can sign up for as many or as few events as you would like. Summer Camp involves being a buddy all week long and also requires training. 

Summer camp is around the corner and we are in need of week-long student volunteers! Volunteer at Summer Camp here.

Adults, professionals, and businesses in our community are invited to support ESP in a variety of ways! You can join an ESP Committee by emailing matt@espyouandme.org and figuring out what committee may be best suited for your interests. You can support ESP families by volunteering to serve meals at monthly evening Family Dinners, weekend Family Events, or Weekend programs. Not only that, but you can volunteer to help run booths and activities at various Special Events, or serve as day-of volunteers to make the event possible. 

With summer camp right around the corner, our Lunches with Love Program is a great place for our community to volunteer. Every Monday-Thursday morning from 8:30-9:30 AM in June and July, we need help preparing lunches for our campers. You can volunteer for one or multiple days HERE.
