Other helpful things to donate
Donate physical items
We appreciate everyone’s thoughtfulness. At the moment, we are looking for a large outdoor tent for parties and gatherings at the DTTA program. Our walls are not big enough for friends and family who need more space when they visit for birthdays. (Update 12/3/24).
Simply call the office: 520-287-2043, Option 6.
Donate time / Volunteering
Our nine programs fill each day to the brim with activities. Care to join us?
Do you have a favorite hobby? Or do you teach something already? We love group classes at our social and life skills for adults program (DTTA). Some volunteers come once or twice a week, but of course, you can talk with the program coordinator and see what works for you. Some teach whole group activities, while others have taught small groups.
Are you a detail oriented person and consider safety on the road a priority? We need drivers to fill in odd spots in the day or substitute when someone cannot make it in. Our members travel all over Nogales and other nearby cities visiting new places, working, volunteering, and also sometimes need basic pick-up and drop-off at the end of the day.
When November and December come around, our holiday thank you cards are a huge project. Call the office at 520-281-2043 and press 6 to coordinate with the receptionist. Your time helps us show our appreciation to the community!
Do you have a way with words? Or do you like to research? We could use help searching for and writing grants to grow our services and help even more people.
If you like plants, we have a plant nursery that always needs care with watering and weeding.
Volunteer Requirements
- A fingerprint clearance card.
- Pass a background check.
- Possible training required. Total hours for training could be 16-24 hours spread out over a few days during the first few months. The standard training includes CPR and Article IX (rights of people with disabilities).
- For volunteer drivers, you will need PASS (Passenger, Assistance, Safety, and Sensitivity) training to operate the vehicle and be sensitive to the needs of those with mobility concerns. Together with the agency, the state and our contract with the Department of Developmental Disabilities might add more training as needed.
