Volunteers can be utilized at many levels to provide services to adult individuals with developmental disabilities; to train individuals in life skills, accompany persons on recreation and leisure outings, work with clients one-on-one; teach small groups on specific skills such as computer usage, interview skills, sign lan­guage, money skills, etc. Jackson Creative would be a great experi­ence for teachers to learn about transitioning for special education and general classroom education. It would also be a great way for high school students to learn about community programming, inclusion, and vocational pro­gramming. Jackson Creative has supervised special education students and social work interns successfully in the past and welcomes volunteers.
