Get Involved!

Do you know how to have fun? If so, we need you!

People who can help foster community connections for individuals who are mentally challenged are in demand. We need dynamic individuals to support others as they enjoy and access the community at large. Do you like to hike, fish, shop, dance or go to the movies? Do you have special skills you would like to share? Do you like to cook, craft, sing, paint, play music, dance, or exercise?

 

At Link Associates, our mission, "Providing people with disabilities opportunities to achieve their personal goals" is supportedd by volunteers from our community. Socialization and being part of the community is an important feeling for everyone. Through your volunteerism you can help the people we support take a more active role in our community. The level of involvement is totally up to you. The main requirement of a Link Associates volunteer is to care about others and the desire to make a difference in someone's life.

Ask us about:

Large group projects. We can match area business and service organizations

based on the level of involvement they want to have. Some examples that large

groups have participated in include:
Adopt-a-Home
Sponsor an activity/event for Leisure Services
Host a fundraiser for the Link Foundation


Small group projects. Painting, landscaping, plumbing or other
"trades-type" support. If your group is more "socially"inclined,
you can do a variety of fun activities; an afternoon of pizza and a movie, cookie baking, holiday decorating or a day of shopping.

Individual Volunteer. With over 800 consumers, Link Associates programs offer options to volunteer at a consumers home, with the day program, or as part of a leisure activity. Opportunities are available across the greater Des Moines metropolitan area.
