Recreational activities are offered every evening for the members. These include organized sports, group activities, ceramic and craft classes, and community events.

EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES
Educational programs to assist in developing independent living skills are provided by staff and volunteers. Cooking classes, computer skills, and bike safety are among the classes offered at the Center.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
The Activity Center offers an inviting atmosphere for members to make new friends, join in group activities, and interact on a one-to-one basis.

Social activities allow members the opportunity to gradually integrate into the community. Through interactions with staff and volunteers, members develop the confidence and self-respect they need to meet the challenges of daily life.

The Activity Center is open Tuesday through Fridays from 4pm-9pm and Saturdays as scheduled on the monthly calendar. If you would like more information on the Activity Center, please call (701)235-2444 or check out the AC Monthly Calendar for a schedule of activities and events.

VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers are a very important part of the Activity Center. They bring new skills, ideas, and talents to the program. Volunteers affect aspects of the members' lives in various ways:

Teacher-Role Model:
Continual teaching and learning takes place at the Center. Many classes, such as the cooking and painting classes, are provided by volunteers. Teaching also takes place in informal settings, in daily conversation and interaction.

Companionship:
The Activity Center is a place for the members to relax and enjoy themselves. Volunteers provide someone who will listen, someone who is interested in them for the persons they are. Time can be spent playing cards, darts, and doing other activities, or just sitting and sharing experiences.

If you are interested in volunteering at the Activity Center, please call (701)235-2444.
