Saturday, September 26, 2026 | Grand Prairie, Texas

Want to spend a few hours doing something fun, meaningful, and genuinely helpful to families in our community?

Join the Ranger Civitan Club volunteer team for WELLNESS ROCKS! — a Community Information & Resource Fair for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), neurodiverse individuals, and their families.

Our goal is simple: bring families and organizations together in one welcoming place where people can find resources, make connections, have fun, and know they belong.

And we need some great people to help us make it happen!

🙌 You Don't Need Special Experience

You don't have to be an expert in disabilities or have previous volunteer experience.

We're looking for friendly, dependable people who enjoy helping others.

Volunteers can help with:

🩵 Welcoming families and helping them find their way

🎸 Assisting with activities and entertainment

🦆 Helping with our Lucky Duck Derby activities

📋 Registration and information

♿ Helping us create an accessible, welcoming experience

📸 Event photos and social media

💧 Keeping volunteers and exhibitors supported throughout the day

😊 And sometimes simply being the friendly person who says, “Welcome! We're glad you're here.”

👥 Bring a Team!

We would especially love to hear from:

High school and college students • Service clubs • Corporate volunteer teams • Church groups • Civic organizations • Young professionals • Retirees • Families • Anyone who wants to help

Students needing community-service hours are welcome, and we can document volunteer hours.

💙 Why Volunteer?

Because sometimes making a difference isn't complicated.

It's helping a parent find a resource they didn't know existed.

It's making someone feel welcome.

It's helping a family enjoy a community event without wondering whether they belong.

And it's bringing people together who might never have met otherwise.

That's what WELLNESS ROCKS! is about.

🦆 Come Help Us Build a Community Where Everyone Belongs

Whether you come by yourself, bring a friend, or bring an entire team, we would love to have you.
