The Augusta Training Shop, Inc. believes that all persons with disabilities, whether those with mental retardation and/or developmental disabilities, are PEOPLE FIRST, and that the disability is secondary to their individual humanness. We believe that they are entitled to the same rights and privileges afforded to any other citizen.
Augusta Training Shop relies on the sales of handmade items to fund their important programs for persons with mental and developmental disabilities. These items include handmade cane snowflakes, wooden harts, handmade paintings, and other items. We are currently seeking AU volunteers who can support our handmade crafting program by assisting with craft project preparation from the comfort of their homes. Volunteer tasks include:
- Cutting scrap pieces of paper to a specific size that allow us to tag our handmade items
- Cutting brown twine and satin ribbon to specific size for handmade projects
- Cutting specific sizes of cane to make handmade items
- Cut specific size of tissue paper for our handmade items.
All craft items will be supplied by Augusta Training Shop. Volunteers will just need to stop by to pick up supplies and then return their projects once completed.
