Throughout the year we recruit volunteers for help in the following areas.

Our child, teen and caregiver groups are the heart of our program. One evening a week for 8 weeks, children of a similar age come together while their caregivers meet in their own group. The groups are co-facilitated by a volunteer and mental health professional.
Requirements and commitment:
- One year commitment is required to co-facilitate our group sessions
- The eight week session runs three times per year, attendance at all sessions is needed
- Completion of application & information interview
- Attendance at 12 hour training
- We welcome volunteers with a range of experience
Volunteer Helper
We always need extra hands on deck for various short term projects throughout the year. The projects range from stuffing envelopes and answering phones to doing outreach in the community. Certainly if you have a particular skill or specific time you would like to help out you should certainly let us know. We also rely on volunteers to help with A Caring Hand, The Billy Esposito Foundation annual fundraiser. Requirements and commitment:
- Varies to fit your needs and our projects
- Completion of application & information interview
Procedure
