At The Iris Network we are looking to increase our recreational activities for our residents at our assisted living facility.
We understand that everybody has their own unique skills and talents they could bring to the table.
Do you have an idea for a volunteering opportunity? Let us know and we may be able to implement it.
All volunteers must be located in the New England area. We do not offer visa sponsorship for work or volunteer opportunities.

About The Iris Network
Location:
189 PARK AVE, PORTLAND, ME 04102, US
Mission Statement
Helping people who are visually impaired or blind attain independence and community integration.
Description
Established in 1905, The Iris Network has been helping Maine's visually impaired community learn independent living skills through work of Vision Rehabilitation Therapists. At our main location we have an assisted living facility as well as the Training Center. The Training Center is to help people transitioning into independent life through 10-20 week programs which teach braille, cooking, knife skills, activity of daily living skills, basic home maintenance and pre-vocational skills such as resume writing, interviewing and assistive technologies.
