Tutor
Help individuals with basic skills and schoolwork. Tutoring can be done within groups or on a one-on-one basis.
Group Activities
Work with staff to design and organize cultural, educational, athletic or recreational activities for groups of SBY youth. Activities occur mainly on evenings and weekends.
Maintenance Miracle Work
Help keep SBY beautiful and functional by volunteering time, energy, skills, or supplies toward improving our programs. SBY welcomes assistance with landscaping, gardening, repair work, painting, sewing, and building.
Administrative Support
Assist staff with non-clinical tasks such as answering phones, typing, data entry, and research. Typically, these volunteer opportunities are available during office hours.
Professional Resource
Increase SBY’s effectiveness by contributing your professional knowledge. Everything from legal advice to interior design, electrical wiring to health care is welcome. Computer and fundraising advice and assistance are particularly helpful.
