About
SIL hosts monthly social gatherings for our consumers of all ages with disabilities to come together and have fun.
The 2ndFriday of every month is Game Night from 3:00-4:30pm.
The 3rd Friday of every month is Movie Matinee from 3:00-4:30pm.
The 4th Friday of every month is Arts & Crafts night 3:00-4:30pm.
These social gatherings are hosted at the SIL Offices on W. Ash St. in Columbia.
We are looking for student volunteers to attend the social gatherings to help facilitate cross-disability and intergenerational community! We need your help to set up the conference room with supplies and refreshments, welcome consumers as they arrive at SIL, assist in getting gameplay going (whether you like cards, board games, even computer and wii games are available!). SIL socials are an opportunity for consumers to practice conversation, peer support, and other social skills.
It can be really fun and is more rewarding the more often you volunteer because you can start to make connections with individuals who come to each event.
Please complete the SIL Volunteer Application. Before you begin volunteering at SIL and interacting with consumers, it's important to fill out an SIL volunteer application, which includes registration and background screening through the Missouri Family Care Safety Registry (MO FCSR). This helps us ensure safety for everyone involved.
