Volunteers are a critical component to the success of the SEDOL Foundation. As the Foundation works to generate resources for children with disabilities, numerous opportunities are available for members of the community to help out.
Opportunities range in time commitment and skills required, offering a wide variety of activities to choose from. Whether your interest is in board/committee membership, administrative tasks, golf outings, or children’s activities…there’s something for everyone!
Giving a little of your time can make a lot of difference in a child’s life.
Why Be a Volunteer
for SEDOL Foundation?
When you help the SEDOL Foundation, your efforts go a long way.
You’ll be helping the SEDOL Foundation to serve the families and children who receive services from the Special Education District of Lake County (SEDOL). The district provides services to about 100,000 public school children in 36 school districts throughout Lake County, from birth to age 21. This covers a large geographic area, serving families in a 400-square-mile area in Lake County.
Volunteer efforts directly affect the children. The Foundation is a not-for-profit organization, so money raised is used solely to provide adaptive equipment programs, projects, and services that the district cannot provide on its own.
Many of the families we serve have incomes of less than $15,000, so even small efforts have the potential to make a big difference in the lives of these families.
The Commitment
Volunteer opportunities are very flexible. You can get as involved as you want, from as little as one hour per year to several days per week. Depending on the activity, you can pick the times and even sometimes the locations.
Whatever your interest, being a SEDOL Foundation volunteer does require a commitment. Our volunteers become part of planned and scheduled events. The success of these events is highly dependent on volunteers who take their responsibilities seriously.
