They lend their talents to the Evening and Weekend Program as tutors in math and reading and as workshop presenters or teachers on a wide range of topics like music, creative writing, nutrition, cooking, photography and yoga. Fountain Gallery is operated as a cooperative by a committee of dedicated volunteers from the creative and corporate communities and from the neighborhood surrounding Fountain House. They serve on sub-committees that select works for upcoming shows, set prices, help market the gallery and develop its web site. High Point Farm in Montague, New Jersey, also relies on individual volunteers and civic groups from the New Jersey community to help with building and trail projects and work side by side with members in the gardens, orchard and wood shop. Fountain House is continually seeking ways to involve citizens from our community who are interested in making a positive impact on the lives of people with major mental illness.
Some opportunities are available during the work week, but most needs are on evenings and weekends.
All applicants for volunteer opportunities are expected to meet with Fountain House members and staff and a consulting psychiatrist prior to volunteering. For more information about our Volunteer Opportunities please e-mail us .
