Mentor/Activity Volunteer - Inpatient Program for Children and Teens Struggling with Developmental and Behavioral Challenges

Inside each child is the ability to succeed!

Volunteers are needed to assistchildren and teens in our inpatient programs - Psychiatric Medical Institute for Children (PMIC) and Intermediate Care Facility for Intellectual Disability (ICF/ID) withplay activities and quiet time activities.

Programming takes place in a nurturing, home-like setting on the Tanager Place Main Campus and centers around developing social, coping and problem-solving skills. Our goal is to use trauma-informed care components to help youth reach their full potential and build positive, strong relationships so they can return home as soon as possible.

We are looking for individuals with a passion for helping children, and that can commit to meeting on a regular basis. If you want to make a difference for a child - choose to invest 1 hour a week in a child that wants to learn yet needs a little extra help and encouragement.

Time slots available are:
Monday-Thursday, 4:00pm-5:00pm
Monday-Thursday, 7:00pm-8:00pm
