Dear Volunteer,
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with RNJ Youth Services. We are committed to providing opportunities for all individuals to lead productive lives through the support of a compassionate and effective network of community partners. This includes volunteers like you!
If you are not familiar with our programs, we offer the following to youth between the ages of 12 to 17:
-Youth Justice Committee: brings young people alleged to have committed low-risk offences together with their affected victims, parents, and community representatives to negotiate an appropriate way for the young people to make amends for their actions. Interested volunteers will be contacted directly with next steps to the application process.
-Rebound: an eight week program dedicated to supporting at-risk youth in developing essential life skills that will promote a positive response to self, others and the community. Volunteers facilitate small group activities and discussions with the youth.
-Rebound Choices: a ten week life-skills program that focuses on enabling at-risk youth to make informed choices regarding drug and alcohol use. Volunteers facilitate small group activities and discussions with the youth.
More information on these programs can be found on our website at www.rnjyouth.com.
