Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Runaway and Youth Services is an organization which works to strengthen teen support systems so that we can keep teens safe and off the street. Our organization must maintain "Safe Homes" throughout our service area to continue to service the youth in marathon county.

"Safe Home" providers are used to provide emergency placement for youth that have runaway from home. These Youth can be placed in the home for up to 3 days. Youth placed in an emergency safe home could be dealing with any number of personal problems so safe home providers would need to be patient and compassionate.
