Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are an integral part of our programming at Perseus
House, Inc., and are generally college students (although
other community members are welcome to volunteer). There are
no degree requirements, however all volunteers must be at
least eighteen years of age.
Both volunteers and interns are required to hold Child Abuse
History (Act 33) and Criminal History Record (Act 34) clearances
that are current, obtained within the last 90 days. These
forms are available at the Office of Children and Youth, or
through the Coordinator of Volunteer Programs for Perseus
House, Inc.
Volunteers help provide extra assistance and insight to facility
staff, and their hours range from four hours to 900 hours.
Duties include, but are not limited to:
- Tutoring students in areas of deficiency
- Assisting students with homework
- Communicating with facility staff
- Assisting facility staff at varying levels, depending on
both the facility and other necessary duties and requirements
(Applicable to interns only)
