Each day we support people with disabilities to live with independence and opportunity. We are dedicated to supporting health in mind, body, and spirit through our organization-wide culture of wellness. Our volunteers play an integral part in the lives of people we support. Volunteer opportunities are available for individuals and groups at our 34 homes, our administrative office, and at events.

“I have loved every moment of volunteering with Living Well Disability Services, and I have absolutely loved getting to know Elaine!” — Sarah G.
Spend time in one of our homes where fun people love to have someone to hang out with. Maybe you’d like to listen to music, play games, make crafts or prepare some fun snacks. Just a couple hours a few times per month can bring joy and make an invaluable difference in a person’s quality of life.
Don’t we all like to spend time in meaningful activities that enhance our feeling of well-being? When you bring a specific skill as a wellness ally, your unique talents help to decrease stress, improve social skills, and increase confidence in the individuals and groups involved.
Here are just a few examples of what you can bring as a wellness ally:
The Living Well Disability Services Self-Advocacy group, STARS, meets in Mendota Heights on the second Monday of each month from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. You and your group will have a blast being a part of these get togethers. We’d love your help in set up, clean up, and general logistics. These meetings are a part of a very exciting movement supporting independence and the disability rights.
