Teen Respite
Volunteers
We are looking for people to
volunteer the first Friday of
every month to work with teens
(15-21 years old) with special
needs while their primary
caregiver takes a few precious
hours to themselves. These
evenings will consist of dinner,
socialization and a special event.
Special events will include
swimming, a team sport, yoga,
movie or arts & crafts.
Each volunteer must attend
the TakeFIVE Initiative
training offered at the
Rose E. Schneider Family YMCA
on Sunday, April 12, 2015
11:00AM-2:00PM.
Volunteer applications are
available in-house and online.
