Volunteers have been the backbone of the Community Living movement since the beginning. A volunteer Board of Directors, founding members, concerned parents and citizens have provided direction and support for C.L.D.C.. This is the foundation upon which it built the effectiveness and community acceptance to develop new and innovative ideas for service for individuals with an intellectual disability.

The Volunteer needs of C.L.D.C. vary from year to year. Activities range from participation on committees to assisting with fundraising projects or working directly with people with an intellectual disability.
