Volunteer 

Are you over age 18 and want to make a difference? We are always looking for people to help out with terrific respite programs for our families.

Break Time provides an opportunity for parents and guardians of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities to take a break or have a date night. Children enjoy fun activities or theme nights in a safe setting while the adults get a break. 

Gathering Time is geared toward young adults ages 18-35 with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Parents or caregivers of young adults in this age group can go run errands or enjoy time on their own while the young adults in their care socialize and enjoy time with their peers. 

Volunteers help make these respite events so special. Please contact Sarah Nolan at snolan@tre.org for more information about how you can help!

Do you enjoy using critical thinking skills to help others?
Do you want to make a difference in your community for people with disabilities? 

If you answered yes, then you are invited to join TRE’s Human Rights Committee (HRC)!

What is HRC?

Per Colorado statute, and Medicaid regulations, a Human Rights Committee is a volunteer advisory committee that reviews the services and supports provided by paid caregivers to people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) to ensure their civil rights are respected.

What are the qualifications of a committee member?

Per Colorado statute, HRC must include parents and/or guardians of someone with IDD, and professionals with a background in behavioral development. Additional volunteers interested in advocating for the rights of people with IDD are also welcome.

Why should I join?

HRC is one of the most fulfilling ways to contribute to your community and advance fair and equal treatment for individuals with IDD. You have a unique opportunity to encourage others and impact services and supports for those served by TRE and surrounding agencies.

When is HRC?

Currently, HRC meets the second Wednesday of every month for approximately six hours. The schedule and materials, to be reviewed before each meeting, will be sent to you electronically approximately two weeks prior to each HRC meeting date. Average time commitment for our HRC members is approximately 10 hours per month. 

Where is HRC?
