Bridges

Bridges operates adult disability programs for people with mild to severe intellectual disabilities, providing social skills training including cooking, shopping, schooling, pre-employment training, communication, and some therapy. Bridges runs a ‘day training centre’ that operates from 10am to 3pm, Monday to Friday, and runs at the same time as tertiary education semesters and is looking for volunteers to assist the clients with these daily activities.

Ideally, the volunteers will provide their time on a regular basis (one morning/day per week). This will enable the client and volunteer to build a relationship to allow the client to engage in social skills, and to practice the lessons taught.

If you’re keen to be part of this program, please call Pat Gillhespey on 03 9304 1523 or email bridges@mcm.org.au
