You can help lead a life skills group, adopt a room to decorate, help us to maintain our garden, assist with supervision on outings, organize our donation room, mow the lawn or rake leaves, tutor youth in basic math or science, organize a donation drive, recruit or maintain safe place sites, be a mentor.

MASH offers many learning opportunities for students who need to volunteer to meet a class requirement. We request that all student volunteers commit to serving for a minimum of six months at no less than 60 hours in order to receive the necessary training and experience needed to work directly with the youth population.

All volunteers must complete a criminal records and central registry background check in order to serve with the agency. Volunteers must agree to maintain confidentiality and attend all required meetings and trainings.
