Volunteer Opportunity Details:

We welcome volunteers who enjoy cooking to come once a month or even once every other month to bring a meal or cook a meal at one of our two residential group homes. We like the cook (or cooks) (you can come with a friend) to share the meal with the household, sitting down and joining us at the table. If you want to bring your own child with you for this activity, we can work with that. We have up to 8 residents in each house - all bright and talented girls who work hard to excel academically and otherwise. One house is in Baden in Beaver County and one house is in Clinton in Allegheny County.
