The New York Foundling Hospital aims to strengthen family life by providing preventive, supportive and placement service to foster healing for those whose family life is disrupted by illness, abuse, negelct or poverty. The Foundling is committed to the development of a caring, competent staff who recognize the value of every human life. As a mentor, you will visit with teens twice a month and communicate by phone at least once a week. Vocational Training - Professionals offer skills and advice to our young adults who are preparing to enter the work force.
Volunteers help clients research job possibilities, write resumes and develop interview techniques.
Many volunteers enjoy assisting the children at our parties for the children or taking part in the organization of such events. Child Care - Many of our service sites need extra hands and hearts to assist in child care while parents attend classes and other activities. We also need volunteers for after- school programs to provide tutoring or help with recreational activites and outings. Internships and Community Service - Foundling offers an array of opportunites for students from high school and college to gain work experience in their fields of interest, such as research, casework, child care, finance and personnel.
