Did you know that less than 50% of the children with mental health conditions receive the services they need? Western Youth Services is changing that. Jump Start for Kids (JS4K), one of our school-based programs, brings mental health services strategies to the school setting in a collaborative partnership. We work with the schools as change agents that break the cycle of repetitive behavior problems and the revolving door to the principal’s office. We work within the school’s budget to determine the most cost-effective way to provide services that eliminate barriers to learning, improve learning environments, increase classroom teaching time and enable every child to reach their potential.
Position: JS4K Dance Volunteer
Date/Time: Tuesdays 2:00-3:30pm
Where: 504 E South St., Anaheim, CA 92805.
Duties: Volunteers will assist the Behavioral Health Aide staff member in conducting dance lessons and will help count for students, start music and make sure they are doing the right steps.
Gain experience in the field of mental health while making a difference. Break the stigma, be the change!
