VOLUNTEER WITH 1N10
Program volunteers work directly with our 14-22 youth population through our weekly drop-in program. The purpose of the adult volunteer and youth relationship is to promote the healthy development of the youth. We ask volunteers to make an extended commitment of at least one year. 1n10 requires that all prospective volunteers be at least 25 years of age, complete an application packet, including references and a background clearance. We provide an orientation and formal training for volunteers twice yearly, and offer free, supplemental, specialized training and education on current youth issues.
