Volunteer
At times we all need a helping hand or an encouraging word. When you volunteer at Able to Serve, you’ll experience the fun, friendship and satisfaction of helping adults with special needs become more independent and use their abilities to serve others.
Program Volunteers
Monday-Friday (9 AM -3 PM) Full day/half day Opportunities
Helping participants learn to wash/dry clothes, use the computer and actively experience the community are just a few of activities in our program. Most importantly – you’ll be a friend who encourages our participants to be the best they can be!
Van Drivers
Monday-Friday (half-day) no special license required
Volunteering to drive is much more than operating a vehicle. It creates opportunities for participants to learn about their community. Outings are typically scheduled to leave in the morning around 10 AM and return back at the building by lunchtime. Visiting the YMCA, exercising at the Garner Rec Center, visiting a local business and bowling at Buffaloe Lanes South are just a few of our monthly outings.
Special Events Volunteer
Scheduled throughout the Year
Able to Serve hosts several fundraisers, two community dances and many special activities (cookouts, Bible Camp, outdoor projects) each year. These events are in addition to the volunteers needed in our program. Individual and group’s are needed to help make our events a success!
Volunteer Instructors

Communication's Volunteer
Flexible Schedule
Do you enjoy taking pictures? Do you like capturing moments on video? Do you like writing stories? We need volunteers who will capture content throughout our program activities.
