The most important one, of course, is the many children with special needs waiting for someone special to come into their lives. When you volunteer with EFA you’ll: Meet new people and make long-lasting friendships Enjoy training opportunities and support through access to a range of training and information sessions, newsletters, monthly peer meetings and regular contact with your regional coordinator Be invited to social activities and fun days to meet and mingle with other volunteers, families and children Be appreciated, supported and valued in your role Your role will provide: A sense of purpose and satisfaction Development of personal qualities + skills An increased understanding of disabilities and families’ needs Rewarding relationships with a child and their family An opportunity to become more involved in your local community Extended Families would like to hear from you if you: Enjoy the company of young people Would like to make a difference in the life of a child with special needs And you can be single or married, with or without children, working or retired. No previous experience working with children or people with a disability is required. EFA will provide you with the necessary training, information and support. All you need is some spare time—as little as 2 hours a fortnight— and to be willing and able to participate in activities with some very special young people.
