Volunteers

Picture
Would you like to volunteer?
In addition to our generous donors, L.A.W. operates with the generous help of our volunteers.  There are many ways you can help to improve the lives of our youth.  Volunteers are key to any non-profit organization’s success and many volunteer positions are available for a variety of ages, backgrounds, and skill levels. It is proven that youth who have role models and who receive high levels of social support are less likely to develop delinquent behavior problems. Volunteering provides such an environment and can make a significant difference in a child’s life.

If you are interested in volunteering for our programs, please email us at:

We look forward to speaking with you!
