Volunteers are needed to identify interested youth groups to set up outreach sessions at schools or clubs, identify and organize visits to the center, or orchestrate work projects for the group and residents to work in tandem.

By engaging in long-term work projects, both the residents and the youth volunteers experience very positive outcomes, such as enhancing self-confidence, counteracting myths and stereotypes, and aiding decision-making and public commitment about to stop drug use.
