Calendar

We are currently in need of volunteers for many different programs. Please join us to learn more about volunteering with Bill Wilson Center and which programs are in need of helpers.

All prospective volunteers are required to attend an orientation session. Please be sure to RSVP to Lyndsey.

Upon completing an orientation session and submitting a volunteer application, you may choose from two separate volunteer training sessions:

1. Contact Cares Volunteer Training: Answer crisis line phone calls, providing telephone counseling and referrals to individuals in crisis.

2. Youth Programs Volunteer Training (Including Volunteer Case Aide Program): This will be a comprehensive training to prepare volunteers to provide support to youth in a number of our programs.

• Bill Wilson Shelter: Support youth living away from their families as homework helpers and mentors and assist staff on outings.
• Volunteer Case Aide Program: Support youth in foster care through mentoring, tutoring, child watch, or supervised visitation with birth parents.
• Transitional Housing Program: Work with transitional age youth learning independent living skills and becoming self-supporting. Provide child watch for mothers participating in program
