Students can participate as volunteers in classes or recreational events for individuals with developmental disabilities. (A schedule of classes and events will be provided.) Students can select classes of interest, and plan to attend regular class sessions as a classroom volunteer. Students can also participate as volunteers in the TRS Skiing Program.
