Rooted in Community: New Volunteer Partnership at Three Rivers Homestead Blossoms
The Columbia-Green Day Community Opportunities program at Living Resources continues to expand meaningful opportunities for individuals we support, most recently through an exciting new partnership with Three Rivers Homestead.
Participants recently visited the Hannacroix, NY based homestead to get acquainted with what will soon become a regular volunteer site. Beginning this season, the group will return every Wednesday to contribute their time and energy in a variety of hands-on activities. These include building birdhouses, grooming animals, and assisting with trail creation across the property. These are projects that not only support the homestead but also offer engaging, skill-building experiences.
This new opportunity highlights the powerful role volunteering plays in the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and brain injuries. Volunteer work fosters a sense of purpose, belonging, and pride. It allows participants to connect with their communities in meaningful ways while developing practical skills, increasing independence, and building confidence.
At Three Rivers Homestead, the natural setting offers a particularly enriching environment. Working outdoors and caring for animals provides therapeutic benefits while encouraging teamwork and responsibility. These experiences go far beyond the tasks themselves, they help individuals see the tangible impact of their contributions.
For the I/DD community, inclusion is not just about access, it’s about participation. Volunteer programs like this one break down barriers, challenge assumptions, and create spaces where everyone’s abilities are recognized and valued. Partnerships with community sites such as Three Rivers Homestead are essential in making this vision a reality.
Living Resources remains committed to creating opportunities that empower the individuals we support to lead fulfilling, engaged lives. The Columbia-Green program’s newest volunteer site is a testament to that mission, and a reminder that when communities come together, everyone benefits.
