Our volunteers are the heart of every workshop. You'll help set up activities, guide participants through sensory and creative activities, and simply be present for good conversation.
- No prior experience required — we provide a short training session.
- Flexible scheduling: one-time events or recurring monthly visits.
- Great for students, families, and community groups.
