Socialability Program
SOCIALABILITY
The Socialability program focuses on concepts such as community participation and inclusion, relationships/friendships, valued roles and lifelong learning.
Socialability is about allowing participants the opportunity to undertake volunteer roles and learn skills that would be transferrable to the workplace or other volunteer positions.
We are also committed to dispelling myths and misconceptions around people who wear the label of disability and society’s historical tendency to focus on deficits.
Creating opportunities for the nurturing of reciprocal relationships and the sharing of gifts, talents and passions offers untold possibilities to re-frame and re-evaluate attitudes that recognise and acknowledge strengths and contributions.
How It Works
1. If you have a disability or other special needs and would like to volunteer, you or a carer can call us on 9581 1187 or email volunteering@peelvolunteer.org.au or send us a DM on Facebook or Instagram
2. We then organise a meeting with you to find out what volunteer roles are of interest to you and respectfully listen to find out what your individual needs are so we can best support you in your volunteering. We then work to find an organisation that best suits your needs
3. We then work with the organisation to make sure all of your needs can be met in that particular role and we can suggest and support with any changes that need to be made to make your experience a positive and fulfilling one.
