Volunteering for People with Disabilities

Established by The Volunteer Center in 1974, the Transitional Volunteer Program (TVP) places people with a variety of mental, physical, and environmental challenges in structured volunteer positions supporting nonprofits in San Francisco.

Placement in ongoing volunteer work gives transitional volunteers a number of benefits including:

• Opportunities to explore vocational interests and build job skills
• Recent work experience
• Increased self-esteem and confidence
• Stronger connections to their communities

TVP uses a team approach to support transitional volunteers in their placements, working closely with nonprofit volunteer managers and the referring mental health professional to make sure that the placement is focused on the needs and interests of the volunteer.
