Youth Council members help volunteer for the Daisy Recreation Program. For these activities, a volunteer application is needed, as well as a brief orientation. We are looking for volunteers who can commit to more than one date.
Thursdays At Daisy (T.A.D.)
The emphasis of the T.A.D. program is on providing opportunities for social growth and peer interaction.
The volunteers assist in providing recreational activities with participants ranging in age from 13-25. The recreational activities such as sports, games, arts and crafts, and other events for program participants are held at the Daisy Recreation Center in Bicentennial Park. Activities will be modified to match each participant's abilities under the direction and supervision of experienced Special Education Teachers. The Daisy Program is sensitive to those who require more assistance, explanation and encouragement. The emphasis is on assisting each individual to enjoy success!
Volunteer time would be 4:45pm-7:30pm. You would earn 2.75 hours of community service for each session.
The dates volunteers are needed are:
October 6, 27
November 3, 17
December 1, 8, 15, 22
Saturdays At Daisy
The Saturday Daisy program provides an outstanding program for persons with all different types of disabilities at all different levels.
The all-day Saturday program is looking for volunteers 16 years of age and older from 8:30am-3:30pm. There are no shifts available and volunteers would need to be available for the entire time.
Activities may include: sports, arts and crafts, music, home economics, swimming, dance and exercise, group games and social activities. Volunteers would work with the Daisy staff to ensure a successful and fun filled program.
The dates volunteers are needed are:
October 15, 22, 29

Bowling with Daisy
The Bowling with Daisy program is not designed to foster or encourage competition between individuals. Instead this program will emphasize the uniqueness and the development of their individual skills and abilities.
The bowlers will be grouped according to age, ability and other factors that will maximize each participant's enjoyment of the activity under the direction and supervision of experienced Special Education Teachers. Our volunteers will be there to help encourage the development of many skills including social skills.
Volunteer time would be 4:45pm-7:30pm. You would earn 2.75 hours of community service for each session.
The dates volunteers are needed are:
