September 1, 2023 - As summer comes to a close, we would like to take this opportunity to thank our summer volunteers! The great weather and the ability to get outside meant there were more opportunities for our residents to get out and enjoy the activities they love. Our summer youth volunteers did an amazing job helping our staff with activities, music, games, and taking residents out for a walk in the beautiful weather.
This year 178 youth volunteers dedicated over 5200 hours to walks with residents, completing puzzles, and chats about life. Thanks to all who helped create a memorable summer for our residents this year! We also want to acknowledge the excellent organizing and recruitment work of our two student Summer Youth Volunteer Coordinators, Nivas M and Simran S.
The Summer Youth Volunteer Program accepts volunteers aged 12 and older, but volunteers of all ages are welcome throughout the year. Check out all of our volunteer opportunities and be sure to join our youth volunteer team next summer!
