The Association of Horizon is seeking volunteers for our week-long summer camp for adults with disabilities in July 2023. This is a wonderful opportunity for students (ages 16+) to earn up to 144 service learning hours and experience a truly unique volunteer experience - great for those interested in diversity, nursing, pre-med, occupational or physical therapy, social work, psychology and more.Benefits:
1. Gain skills assisting a person with a physical disability. Past volunteers who have gone on to the workforce or college, especially nursing and pre-medicine programs, have used their time with Horizon as experience on their resumes and as topics for personal essays.
2. Increase communication skills and ability to work on a team. Our team leaders and camp staff promote an atmosphere of open dialogue, respect, and cooperation. Volunteers will utilize teamwork and open-mindedness in their individual pairings and as part of a larger cabin unit.
3. Expand worldview to one with increased diversity and inclusion. A large majority of our first-time volunteers had never met a person who uses a wheelchair until they came to Horizon. The vision of our organization is to create a more socially conscious community, where barriers between people with and without disabilities are transcended.
4. Most importantly, have fun! Our volunteers get to participate in all the activities that are available to the campers for no cost. Many of our campers and volunteers ride horses, canoe, fish, and spend a week away from urban life for the first time in their lives!
If this sounds like an opportunity that your students might be interested in,
Please check out our volunteer packet where you can sign up to be notified when our 2023 application comes out: https://associationofhorizon.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/2023-Volunteer-Packet.pdf
If you’d like to schedule a Zoom or an in-person presentation from Horizon to share this opportunity with a large group of people, this can be done by request. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!
