Help make boundless inclusivity a reality.
Time Well Spent
“The true reward of volunteering lies in the heartfelt connections”
Changing how people think about disabilities is a team effort and we can’t do it alone! Aspire is recognized as a leader in providing bold, pioneering, and uncompromising services to adults with developmental disabilities, their families and the Chicagoland community each year.
Volunteers are one of our most valuable advocates. They make the difference between possibility and reality for so many of our services, programs, homes, and so much more. If you’re passionate about the modern inclusivity movement, we can help make it more possible for people with disabilities—and do it together. Volunteering with Aspire is a rich chance to learn new skills, make meaningful connections, and amp up the inclusivity in our communities.
We hope you join us in redefining what is possible for people with disabilities!
Here’s how our volunteers spend their time.
With options for individuals and for groups of five to two hundred, there’s a role for everybody in our mission to amplify inclusivity.
Partnering for Impact:
Group Opportunities
Would your business, school, community of faith, or civic association like to give back to Aspire? We welcome groups of varying sizes and backgrounds to gather to support people with disabilities. We work with each group to identify an activity that best meets their talents and coordinate on your behalf to schedule and manage an impactful experience. We have had groups paint rooms in our community homes, revitalize garden spaces, and so much more.
We can’t wait to partner with you to create meaningful change!
Aspire Allies:
Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities
Interested in providing ongoing support to Aspire? We have opportunities that forge a long-term commitment with Aspire. We invite you to volunteer in our classes at the Career Academy, mentor someone in our Virtual Life Consulting or Career Academy program, or pen pal with one of our community homes.
Have a different idea? We are happy to match your skills and interests.
Elevated Engagement:
Single Project Opportunities
We offer many opportunities throughout the year to give back to Aspire. You can provide important support for projects like gardening, painting, or another identified need at one of our community homes. Single project volunteers are always welcome and it’s a great way to learn about Aspire and give back to the community.
