Volunteer at Brook Lane
Volunteers enhance the quality of clinical and support services provided at
Brook Lane. There are a variety of volunteer opportunities, some with direct
client contact and others with minimal or no contact with clients. Volunteers
may share their talents in the following ways:
- Tutoring
- Arts, crafts, reading, music and/or sports with our students or
residents
- Gardening
- Clerical duties
- Interpreting for the hearing impaired or those who do not
speak English.
- Classroom assistant
- Library assistant
- Fundraising
- Event organization
Our volunteers go through an orientation process to increase their understanding
of our work with those with emotional and/or behavioral challenges. Training
times vary depending on the volunteer position. All volunteers who will have
direct contact with clients must have a fingerprint background check (both
state and federal), two tuberculosis skin tests done 30 days apart, and sign
a confidentiality agreement. Fingerprinting and tuberculosis tests are done
at Brook Lane’s expense.
You can make a difference by filling out the volunteer
application.
We will call you to set up an interview time. Thank you for your interest in
volunteering at Brook Lane.
