Become an integral part of the MBIC Clubhouse by joining us as an Outing Chaperone Volunteer. Our outings are a vital component of our mission, aimed at fostering community integration and enhancing the quality of life for our members. Through these outings, members explore various facets of the city-from museums and restaurants to parks and cinemas-embracing the diversity and vibrancy of their community.
About the Program
At MBIC Clubhouse, we cater to adults with a range of needs, including those recovering from brain injuries, living with autism, and other cognitive or physical challenges. Our members live at home with their families and strive for a sense of normalcy and independence in their daily lives. Our program is dedicated to supporting this journey by offering opportunities for social interaction, skill development, and community engagement.
The Role of an Outing Chaperone
As an Outing Chaperone, you will:
- Provide companionship and support to members during various outings, ensuring they feel comfortable, confident, and included.
- Assist members with specific needs, whether it be navigating the environment, managing payments, or simply being a friendly presence.
- Promote a sense of independence and social integration, helping members to engage with public spaces and activities confidently.
- Work alongside our staff to facilitate enjoyable and safe experiences for all members.
Why Community Integration Matters
Our outings are more than just recreational activities; they are a bridge to the wider world for our members. By participating in these community events, our members not only enjoy the enriching experiences but also learn vital social and practical skills. These experiences contribute to their sense of belonging and their ability to participate in society more fully and independently.

- Compassionate and patient, with a genuine desire to support individuals with diverse needs.
- Comfortable working in a variety of settings and with different levels of assistance, from one-on-one support to aiding those with physical disabilities.
- Eager to contribute to the personal growth and community integration of our members.
- Looking for a rewarding, hands-on volunteer experience that makes a real difference in the lives of others.
