outing volunteers

Daily outings and activities in the local area are important for community integration and socialization, but can be quite a challenge for some of our residents to pursue independently. A number of our community need wheelchair assistance for their mobility, including the use of buses, trains and walking to their destination or lift-equipped van. RILS creates the opportunity for our residents to be active, contributing participants in the community with the help of outing volunteers. Outing volunteers offer a helping hand to a resident on their daily excursions and planned trips, from assisting with mobility to helping to make payments. With activities including museum visits, sporting events, local eateries and even the occasional paddleboarding day; outings involve a mixture of local events and attractions that guarantee laughs and enjoyment for all.
