Things are getting busier at The Disability Network, and we’re experiencing a need for friendly help around the office and at upcoming community events. All volunteer positions are listed on the United Way’s Genesee Serves volunteer website. If you would like to request to volunteer by phone, please call 810-742-1800.
- Temporary Ramp Installation Volunteer
The Disability Network is looking for a part-time volunteer to assist with the agencies’ temporary ramp program. The agency has temporary ramps that are installed in homes for free throughout Genesee County for a period of up to three months. The volunteer would need to survey the house and install the temporary ramp, plus pick up the ramp after the borrower is finished or upon the three-month limit. The ramps are made of aluminum and can be picked up relatively easily.
