Goodwill Columbus is one of the largest charities in Central Ohio tackling workforce development, particularly for people with disabilities. The Young Adult Services program provides unique and varied opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities to become involved in the community. Through this rewarding program, participants gain self-respect, self-worth and the feeling that they are part of something meaningful. 

As a volunteer, your team will join the Young Adult Services participants and staff on a neighborhood walk through the Olentangy Trail to explore new wildlife and nature! Additional activities will include outdoor games. This event provides important socialization for their participants and allows individuals with mobility limitations an opportunity to experience nature, and the neighborhood. 

Please print, fill out, and email a signed copy of this waiver to Jackie Rose (JRose@express.com) no later than Tuesday, August 6th. Your cooperation will help streamline day of logistics and ensure we start on time.

• To ensure the event runs smoothly, we ask all associates to be parked and ready to volunteer by 12:00pm.
• A lead volunteer from Goodwill Columbus will be on-site to provide orientation and training. 
• This project provides direct-interaction with individuals who have developmental disabilities and some may require mobility assistance (i.e. pushing a wheelchair). 
• If you have a Giving at Express t-shirt, please wear it for photographs. 
• Parking is available in the surface lot.
