The Anne Carlsen Center has a number of ways in which volunteers can make a difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities.

Through the “Ways You Can Help …” program, volunteers can donate time and talent through a variety of means. Some of the ways to get involved at the Anne Carlsen’s Center’s Jamestown Campus include:

• Teaching a class such as music, drama, art, current events, getting to know places around the world, or Native American culture.

• Read to a group or play games.

• Start a club (photography, bird watching, scrapbooking, making jewelry, gardening, fishing).

• Assist with a newsletter or radio broadcasts.

• Sewing bibs, ties on towels for bibs, covers for laundry carts.

• Filing or shredding records.

• Disinfecting equipment or toys.

• Rocking children.

There are also ways that people in communities such as Fargo or Grand Forks can be connected with the Center:

• After School Activities.

• Drive a bus for clients and take them to their volunteer opportunities or recreational events.

• Assist Life Skills Assistants with trips (swimming, playing games, parties) or outdoor activities (biking, softball, soccer, frizz bee golf, going to the park, sledding).

• Assist Community Services staff with putting on special events (employer recognition luncheons, dances, style shows, spring tea).

“What makes the Anne Carlsen Center so amazing is the people who invest their time and love,” said ACC Chief Executive Officer Eric Monson. “There are as many ways to invest yourself in making a difference as you can imagine. All it takes, is to pick one.”
