    Description

    SMSC campus sits on five acres of land in rural El Cajon, California. The campus consists of five buildings that function as classrooms, dining areas and administrative offices. We need volunteers to help with painting, fence repairs, general facility renovations and maintenance. Hours and days are flexible: M-F from 8am-3pm.

    Volunteer Requirements:

    • 30 hours of service in 3 months or 1 year of service
    • Volunteer Application, interview, and below list of requirements.

    St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center REQUIRES the following to be completed after volunteer offer is made and before beginning work at SMSC:

    • Physical, tuberculosis screening and drug/alcohol screening.

    The employer at its sole expense provides this examination. Every offer is contingent upon a volunteer’s successful completion of these examinations.

    • Criminal record clearance (Fingerprinting). Conviction will not necessarily disqualify an applicant from volunteering. However, failure to disclose any conviction will disqualify an applicant.
    • Proof of citizenship or immigration status.

    • 2-3 hour orientation training.
    • Acknowledgement of receipt of SMSC Volunteer Handbook.

    Impact:

    Our mission is to educate and empower individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. To give them the space and resources to let them realize their full potential. By volunteering, you will bring our students one step closer to realizing that they, too, can make an impact on the world. The smiles you will see will be even more rewarding than our free daily lunches.
