Youth who want the experience
of volunteering at Holy Angels participate in the VolunTEEN
Program. Young people 13- to 17-years-old can participate
in the program during the school year, and there is a summer
program, too.
The VolunTEEN program gives young people an opportunity to
offer a helping hand to the residents and staff. Teens receive
hands-on training and experience in health care and education
careers in the field of mental retardation and developmental
disabilities.
Volunteens read stories to residents, serve as assistants
in the administrative offices, decorate classrooms, assist
in pushing wheelchairs and assist in resident grooming among
other duties.
