Q. I have a sister who is 18 years old with a bright smile and an infectious laugh! She also had acquired a brain injury at the age of 12 from being in a car accident. This affects her nervous systems and memory. She and I are currently looking for ways to spend time with each other and give back to our community. My sister also in need of opportunities to develop some job skills as well. A friend of mines asked me, “Have you considered volunteering at The Arc Minnesota?” Could you tell me how my sister and I can volunteer at The Arc?
