As part of the Live-In Volunteer program at Erik’s Retreat, you have the power to create a future of possibilities for highly independent young adults affected by autism. In exchange for reduced rent in one of our studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, volunteers fulfill a time commitment of 4 hours per week and a 4-hour weekend shift per month. Our apartments are unfurnished with a stove/oven, refrigerator, central heat/air conditioning, all utilities included, free wifi, and pets are allowed with a nonrefundable deposit. Some of the activities our volunteers participate in to fulfill their weekly commitment include leading group social outings for our members, assisting our members with daily living skills, and assisting our staff of life plan coaches with various tasks.
