VOLUNTEER
Are you an enthusiastic and skilled volunteer who is passionate about sharing your skill and talent with youth?
If so, you can volunteer to facilitate a workshop.
Workshop facilitators will be assigned to a Group
Home or our Main Campus to facilitate a workshop
which consists of a one hour instruction/hands
on activity every other week, or once a month.
Some workshop ideas include art, fashion,
scrapbooking, sports, health, and gardening.
You can also coordinate a fundraising drive on our
behalf (for books, clothes, backpacks, etc.) as
we are always in need of donated goods.
We also encourage retirees and seniors to share
their talents, experiences, skills, and hobbies with
our youth, as well.
