Volunteer
EDD Memorial Fund programs provide an opportunity for disabled and non-disabled community members to connect through sports. Each program volunteer is an accomplished athlete who wants to share his skills with others. They inspire the participants with their enthusiasm. The volunteer experience compels them to approach their sport in a new light and explore ways to make activities accessible.
We recruit most of our volunteers by partnering with college athletic teams in our communities. This partnership is a win-win for everyone. The participants have a great time interacting with the student athletes and the clinics provide a unique volunteer experience for college students.
We are looking for ways to expand our programs by reaching new groups of volunteers. If you are interested in helping us to start an adapted sports program in your area, please contact us. [link to contact us form]
