Brighten the summer for children and adults with disability and chronic illness.

This is one of two opportunities to volunteer at The Woodlands this year.

What to Wear: DSG shirts will be provided, but please arrive wearing comfortable, casual clothing that can get dirty. Volunteers must wear closed-toe shoes that they can easily move around in (sneakers or light boots). Project will be outdoors weather permitting - sun and rain protection is suggested. Project will move indoors if rain.
What to Bring: Refreshments and lunch will be provided, but a reusable water bottle may be handy. We also recommend bringing a light backpack or drawstring bag so you may work "hands-free" if you do not want to leave belongings in your car or on the property.
