Contact your nearest Volunteers of America. They run numerous group homes and programs for special needs. Also contact your county MHMR department to see which organizations run the group home and out-of-home programs.
A big new trend is for "companion care" where a handicapped adult comes to live with you. You get paid room and board plus a daily allowance.
In addition, Nursing Homes are always needing people with the patience to work with the elderly.

Good for you. The special olympics allways needs people to help out. And this could be a good experience for you. You might like to earn your living doing this. The University of IL has an excellent program for teachers in special ed. You are young, but in four years you will graduate from high school and it would be nice if you know what your major is going to be in college. Think it over

You can also contact United Cerebral Palsy.
