At Cedar Lake, we support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in a variety of ways, including independent living apartments that foster independence and community. We’re currently seeking volunteers to help spruce up these homes and outdoor spaces.

Volunteers will assist with tasks such as trimming shrubs, weeding, planting flowers, and mulching. This is a great opportunity to make a visible impact while supporting our residents in maintaining a welcoming and enjoyable environment

Bring joy to our families by preparing delicious snacks in our kitchen! Volunteers are invited to create healthy snacks or bake sweet treats to brighten everyone’s day.

RISE in Parkland: A Day of Compassion is a volunteer opportunity hosted by Option to Success Inc. that invites community members to take part in a hands-on clean-up and beautification effort at the future RISE Campus in the Parkland neighborhood.

This opportunity allows volunteers to directly contribute to improving the physical environment by removing trash and debris, cleaning high-visibility areas, and helping prepare the site to become a safe and welcoming space for youth and families. Volunteers will be organized into teams and assigned specific areas to ensure an efficient and meaningful impact.

In honor of Muhammad Ali’s legacy of service, this project provides a tangible way for individuals to give back to the community while supporting the development of a campus that will offer housing, behavioral health services, and life-skills programming.

Through this opportunity, volunteers will not only improve a physical space but also play a role in advancing long-term community impact and supporting the future of youth and families in Parkland.

Help transport our youth and young adults in wheelchairs from their rooms to our gym to enjoy an orchestra performance!
