Service
opportunities available through Divine Providence are very flexible.
Groups and individuals are both easily accommodated, as DPV simply
desires the men and women to have as much one on one attention as possible. Volunteers
can come once or can commit to a schedule for a longer period of time.
Activities with the women are diverse and creativity is always welcome. The
men and women enjoy aerobics, arts, sports, music, parties, and more every month. There
are also dances and other social events with the Cardinal Kroll Center (a men’s
facility) in Springfield.
As
well, DPV would love to have volunteer “buddies” for residents who live
in houses together in the community. Volunteer drivers are also desired to help transport the women to activities off
campus.
When: Each month
and season the activities (and sometimes schedules) for the women fluctuate, but
generally opportunities for volunteering exist daily from 9:30 a.m. until
approximately 8 p.m., including weekends.
The
volunteer opportunities that exist through DVP
may be of particular
interest to Human Services majors, Psychology majors, Special Education majors
and Nursing students.
