Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Adolescent patients in treatment for substance abuse disorders participate in a wide variety of therapeutic programs and also attend 12-step based discussion groups as part of their recovery journey. Volunteers, who are also in recovery, play an integral role in this process by sharing their personal stories of messages of hope, as well as how they maintain sobriety and a healthy lifestyle. Daytime and evening volunteer opportunities are available in our adolescent inpatient and transitional living program (residential, 28-day program).

We are actively seeking volunteers between the ages of 18-25 to join our volunteer team of Young People's 12 Step/Recovery Discussion Group Leaders.
