Volunteering at Harmony Hill School

The Visiting Resource Program

The VR program was established to provide children and adolescents in our care with the opportunity to establish and experience supportive and helping relationship with volunteers in the community.  The Program offers back the opportunity to participate in his life in a meaningful way.  Most boys in the Program do not have family members available for visitation and need socialization experiences in the community.  Over the years, dozens of our students have benefitted from their experiences forming positive relationships with community members.

Applicants should be a positive role model for our youth and have the personal qualities that will assist in developing positive relationships.  In addition to having the desire to serve as a role model and share their time and interests, a Visiting Resource is also required to

• Be 21 years of age or older
