Volunteers Needed: Tetra Society
|
|
Tetra is recruiting volunteers to work with clients to design and build custom-made assistive devices. These are devices that are either not available commercially or cost-prohibitive. As a non-profit organization, Tetra raises funds to deliver this program, including covering the costs of volunteer travel and materials for devices up to $500 per project.
If you are an engineer, carpenter or a handyperson or with any technical background and you would like to give some of your time and skills to help a person with a disability gain independence in their life, Tetra is the place to volunteer. There are no minimum hours and you set your own schedule. No two projects are the same: build devices for children, teenagers, adults and seniors with disabilities that address a barrier in their life.
Skills, qualifications and qualities.
• Education, training, certification or skills as an engineer, carpenter or handyperson;
• Knowledge and awareness of the disabled community;
• Compassion and empathy;
• Creativity and innovation;
• Kind and respectful.
If this sounds like a good fit for you, please complete the volunteer registration form.
For more information, please visit the Tetra website.
