Samantha Szynskie, Community Life Developer from ODC leads the Better Together program which is now ready to start expanding into the Wisconsin Rapids and Marshfield areas.They match adults with disabilities with volunteers to from inclusive friendships in our communities. It is a similar model to Big Brothers Big Sisters, but the friends can get together around a more flexible and fun schedule. Samantha's hope is that by sharing about this program and volunteer opportunity, people might be encouraged to join as a volunteer or that organizations would like to host or sponsor an event for the Better Together friends. Samantha's main goal was to educate our group on the Better Together program so that we can talk about it with other people in the community to increase awareness of inclusion and grow support for advocating for people with disabilities. More info is available here.
