Youth Advocate Volunteers

Save to Favorites

At our youth shelter, our goal is to help youth remain safe physically, mentally, and emotionally. We provide a safe alternative to living on the streets or couch surfing.

We strive to:

• Provide shelter services for youth 11-17
• Provide an exceptional program experience to help youth make better decisions
• Help teens identify permanent and healthy solutions
• Provide tools for parents to communicate with their youth
• Provide a nurturing environment for youth to grow

The role volunteers and interns play in making our program successful are numerous.

• Volunteers: The needs of many are met because of the volunteer sector. The impact of volunteerism in the non-profit sector is tremendous. Because of your generosity and commitment, we are able to offer our clients above and beyond that which we could offer without your kindness.

• Interns: The provision of services to our population is further enhanced by the education and experience of the intern. The impact of your participation in this program is remarkable. We are better able to provide excellent service due to the addition of education and experience brought by your individual input.
