Northfield Community

Weekly or Biweekly Commitment

Laura Baker Services Association, a non-profit organization founded in 1897, provides a wide range of services to individuals with developmental disabilities. Volunteers are paired with buddies on the basis of interests, for example, music, biking, movies, crossword puzzles, etc. Once trained, College Buddies usually get together with their friend every week or every other week for an hour or two. At least a two term or year commitment is strongly desired. Laura Baker is within walking distance of Carleton.
