Volunteer

Many hands make happy hearts!

A vibrant community is one where people share gifts with one another so that everyone flourishes! Volunteering with IDHealth is about building such a community.  Services – no matter how many or how good – will not change the lives of people with intellectual disability. People will. It is a community of people who come around and alongside people with intellectual disability who will make a difference in their lives. We believe that if you choose be one of those people, that your life will be enriched too!

 

Contact us to find out how you could share your time, talents, skills and energies to join us in improving the health and lives of people with intellectual disability.  Whether you are able to commit regularly for an extended period of time, or help out on an ad-hoc basis, we would love to speak with you, get to know you and explore how we could do something good together!

Hear from our volunteers...

Norman always leads me to plan for activities, he always makes me feel empowered as a volunteer by supporting me to make decisions... Volunteering with Happee Hearts Movement is an eye opening experience for us, it helps me and my volunteers understand more about ID and unveil misperception of people with ID.

Not only does it allow me to make a positive impact in their lives, but it also provides me with an opportunity to get out of the house, enjoy the outdoors - something beneficial for both them and myself... This journey has taught me the value of compassion, connection, and the joy of giving back to the community.
Jerrome
Volunteering has helped nurture my empathy and self-awareness, allowing me to look at life from a different point of view and deepening my desire to learn more about people with special needs. I learned to look beyond myself and understand the struggles of others.
