    Description

    Be a Bowling Buddy!

    Are you someone who loves bowling and making new friends? We're looking for a friendly, patient, and enthusiastic volunteer to be a Bowling Companion for an adult with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

    Your role? Simply show up, share some laughs, roll a few frames, and offer support and encouragement. No special training required—just a kind heart and a willingness to build a meaningful connection through shared fun.

    What you’ll do:

    • Join a person with I/DD for weekly or biweekly bowling outings
    • Offer companionship, encouragement, and a helping hand if needed
    • Celebrate the good times—strikes, spares, or just showing up!

    Ideal for:

    • Retirees, college students, or anyone with a free weekday morning or afternoon
    • People with a passion for inclusion and community involvement
    • Volunteers looking for a relaxed, one-on-one opportunity to make a difference

    Perks:

    • Free games and shoes (we’ve got you covered!)
    • Feel-good vibes that last long after the game ends
    • A new friendship that could be the highlight of your week

    Location

    On-site
