Volunteers Needed!
Since SPRED is not a classroom model of religious education, we need adult volunteers who will be trained to form a small community of faith and grow in their own faith as they welcome people of a particular age group. You do not need experience or to have a degree in special education to volunteer with this program. Extensive training is provided, so you just need a willingness to grow in your faith and to welcome our friends! If you are called to service in this ministry, please contact us by email or at 708-447-1020.
