Family Services is a division of Catholic Charities of Baltimore, which includes nearly half of the agency's 80 programs. This hub covers volunteering opportunities for our child welfare, behavioral health, adult disability, and violence prevention programs, including Gallagher Services, St. Vincent's Villa, Safe Streets, and the Villa Maria programs.
Working with Adults with Intellectual Disabilities - Visitor (Student)
This is geared towards high school students who need hours for school requirements. Students can interact during the week (9am-3pm) at one of our two day programs or they can volunteer after school and on weekends at one of our group homes in the Baltimore metro area. Group home visits may require the student to prepare a simple activity to do within the homes/apartments. Students may also volunteer on the first and third Sundays of each month from 3pm-4pm for non-denominational religious services at 2520 Pot Spring Rd, Timonium 21093.Students will be placed based on their individual skills and interests when working 1:1 with individuals.
