St. Mary's Hospital for Children is seeking 25 adult volunteers who are available one morning each week to assist with our Medical Day Health Care/Young Adult Program.

The Young Adult Program is offered Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. This innovative program is for young adults from 18-30 years of age who have special needs and provides them with therapeutic and rehabilitation service focusing on life skills and improving independence in the community and overall quality of life. This group participates in a variety of supervised activities designed to promote their skills, confidence, and independence in a nurturing and fun environment.

Please join us for a morning session or for three hours if that better fits your schedule. This is an ongoing volunteer opportunity open to adults who can commit to work with our participants for at least 6 months. Many of our volunteers have worked with us for years! Please note that for all volunteer opportunities at St. Mary's there is an application process that includes a medical clearance completed by your physician, an orientation class and ongoing training.

Description

St. Mary's Healthcare System for Children is committed to improving the health and quality of life for children and families with special needs.

St. Mary's Healthcare System is one of the few organizations around the country that is dedicated to providing intensive rehabilitation, specialized care, and education to children with special needs and life-limiting conditions.

As the largest provider of long-term home healthcare for children in New York State and one of the nation's leading providers of pediatric post-acute care, St. Mary's provides a continuum of care, treating nearly 4,000 children each day throughout the metropolitan area through a network of inpatient, home care and community programs and services, setting a standard of excellence in pediatric healthcare.
