Volunteer Today.

Inspire for a Lifetime.

Want to make a difference?  Your time, talents, and energy can have a real impact on the lives of eQuality associates.  Meet fun people and choose from a variety of opportunities and commitment levels.

Stand by Me Initiative

We are asking for volunteers to “Stand By” Adults with IDD by providing a glimpse into their workplace. Volunteers will invite eQuality associates (adults with IDD) and their eQuality staff to join them at their workplaces to provide first-hand mentorship experiences. These experiences will help our associates make educated decisions about the type of work they wish pursue. How does it work?  We will meet at your convenience. Trained eQuality staff will accompany associates and be present throughout the visit. Visits vary according to individual situations, but may include observation of the work performed, introduction to the work environment, and discussion of skills and abilities required.
