Lantern Community Services provides innovative services to help New Yorkers who are formerly homeless or have recently aged out of foster care recreate their lives. Our programs have proven results in health, employment, education and life skills. They are delivered inside our residences and tailored to each person’s needs. We provide over 2,000 clients-many of whom live with mental illness, addiction, disability, HIV or other chronic illnesses-with the tools they need to integrate successfully into the greater community with dignity and independence.
Right now, Lantern is looking for licensed massage therapists to volunteer to give massages to our clients. Many of our residents suffer from high stress levels, and could really use a massage, even if it's very simple! If you have any massage therapy skills, we’d love to hear from you. We can be very flexible in terms of times and dates as long as it takes place between 9 and 5 on weekdays.
