There are many ways to "getting involved" with the Center. 

VOLUNTEER!

In order to assist stroke survivors to reintegrate and re-engage into their community, the Stroke Comeback Center welcomes volunteers to help us reach our goal.  Whether you have one or many hours to give, you are valuable to us - check out our ideas on the following table. 

Don’t see what you are interested in?  Call us and let’s talk.  We appreciate your consideration in volunteering to share your special interest, time and talent to make the Center a fun and lively place to be. 

VOLUNTEER IDEAS

Clerical

Assist with varied office duties such as:  preparing mailings, filing, word processing, answering the phones, and photocopying.  Not glamorous, but sorely needed.  We always choose our members' needs over our document organization, so we could really use your help to keep us streamlined and up to date.

Resource Center

Volunteering in the Resource Center includes organizing and updating current materials, researching various topics such as recreational opportunities for folks with disabilities, bookmarking pertinent internet sites for easy access, calling local resources to obtain brochures and keeping us on the cutting edge of what’s out there for stroke survivors.

Computer Lab

CAT (Computer Assisted Treatment) volunteers would assist participants in using the computers and the software in the lab on an individual basis.  Some activities might include basic computer skills such as turning on/off the computer, navigating with a mouse, accessing the internet or effectively using Center software.  The stroke survivors and their caregivers vary in skill level from never touched a computer to software engineers.  We can pair you accordingly.

Conversation Partners

Conversation partners assist folks to use their communication strategies in group or on a one-to-one basis.  Conversation partners will be given training to facilitate their comfort level as needed. 

Fundraising

Do you have an interest in fundraising?   Participate in assuring the continuation of the Center through fundraising activities.  No stroke survivor is turned away due to lack of funds.  We are always in search of new ways to fund our mission.

Community Outreach
Outreach

Are you good at just getting things done?  Well being an outreach volunteer might be right for you.  Volunteers assist with networking with other service providers to meet the needs of our clients.  Creative solutions to finding transportation, recreation, or other needed services would be your focus.

Marketing

Do you have an expertise in advertising?  We would appreciate your time and energy helping us to more efficiently and effectively get our message out to the community at large.  Have ideas for making sure every stroke survivor has a place to go for help?  We would love to hear them!

Publishing

Are you knowledgeable in the world of publishing and authorware applications?  Through many years of service to stroke survivors, the Center has developed treatment materials and "how to" manuals that we would like to make available to other clinicians.  We could really use your help.  Proceeds of the sales would go to assuring the continuation of services for all stroke survivors.

ANY amount is very appreciated!  If you would like to be a part to the Stroke Comeback Center Scholarship Program - a $200 contribution will support a stroke survivor for one group activity for one nine week session.  Can you help?

Stroke survivors with communication deficits can continue to recover.  The sad truth is that many stroke survivors simply can’t afford the help they need.

By supporting the Stroke Comeback Center, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation, you empower stroke survivors to attain their personal best.  Your gift helps SCC to:

  • Support stroke survivors who qualify for our sliding scale fee because of limited income
  • Expand the Center's programs to our members and stroke families
  • Purchase needed equipment and supplies for our member programs
