Are you passionate about making a meaningful impact in the lives of adults with autism? Madison Fields is seeking dedicated volunteers to support our Job Readiness Program, helping individuals prepare for meaningful employment opportunities.
As a volunteer in our Job Readiness Program, you will be involved in the following key tasks:
Providing Guidance and Support: As a mentor, you will offer guidance and encouragement to our participants, helping them build confidence in their tasks and abilities.
Skill Development: You will assist participants with job-related skills around our main barn, chickens, and soapery.
Hands-On Training: Volunteers help create simulated work environments where participants can practice their skills. This hands-on approach is crucial for their learning and development. Personalized Mentorship: Building a one-on-one relationship with participants to understand their individual needs and goals, providing tailored support and advice.
Volunteers must be over the age of 16 to volunteer in our Job Readiness Program, and around the horses. We offer comprehensive training to ensure you feel confident and prepared for your mentoring role. Additionally, working closely with our participants and other volunteers is a unique and enriching experience that fosters personal growth and community development.
The Job Readiness program runs weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm.
Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian and must be completed outside of school hours. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns.
