Rock Climbing Practices for Individuals with Different Abilities

Description

We're looking for volunteers with a heart for making a difference in the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Join us at our weekly climbing practices and help create a welcoming, inclusive community where kids and adults with special needs can build confidence, friendships, independence, and a lifelong love for climbing.

You don't need any climbing experience—we'll teach you everything you need to know. All you need is a positive attitude, compassion, and a willingness to encourage others as they reach new heights.

What you will do:

  • Assist climbers by belaying them
  • Climb next to them and assist
  • Provide encouragement and support
  • Help create an inclusive and welcoming environment

** Bonus: Enjoy FREE climbing after your volunteer shift! **


After you register on Volunteer Montgomery, please register on our website: https://unitedrocks.org/volunteer/ to get a welcome email with next steps.


One volunteer can change a life. Come be part of something truly extraordinary.

Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian and must be completed outside of school hours in a public space under direct supervision of the nonprofit organization. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns.
