Interchange – Volunteers Caring For Kids with Disabilities
We recognise that parents of children with disabilities give all the love they can, but they often need a break. Interchange provides respite care and social opportunities for children and young people with a disability in many ways including
Interchange weekends at McFarland House – mini camps which run one weekend per month, staying overnight (Friday night to Sunday Afternoon) and others join them to go on outings on Saturday and Sunday.
School Holiday Programs – The School Holiday Program runs for 3 days in each week of the Victorian school holidays (Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays 9am-4pm). We plan a variety of interesting activities and excursions to provide stimulating experiences for our participants. From day trips and sporting activities to movies, craft and music, there is always something on offer to cater for the range of abilities and interests of the young people (and volunteers!) who attend.
As well as the School Holiday program, we require volunteers for our monthly youth activities and annual camps. Volunteer once, or stay on our bank of volunteers for future opportunities!
We provide information and support to assist you to supervise the child in your care; and ongoing training. Your reward will be our heartfelt gratitude, along with the satisfaction of helping someone have a great day!
