Volunteer: Board Member, Fundraising Specialist

Las Trampas is a non-profit organization that support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). For over 60 years, we have been a provider of choice delivering much needed services and programs to adults with developmental disabilities, including Autism, IDD, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and other similar conditions. Founded in 1958 as a non-profit residential school by parents, family, and community members, our philosophy has always been that persons with developmental disabilities are entitled to develop their optimum state of social, physical, and mental well-being, and share an integrated lifestyle similar to what non-disabled persons are fortunate to enjoy. Currently, Las Trampas provides day program educational and vocational services, residential services, supported and independent living services throughout Contra Costa County.
