Youth Behavioral Health Programs and Safe Streets


Behavioral Health - Working with Youth - Villa Maria School Sports Enrichment

Villa Maria School, located in Timonium, Maryland, provides educational and clinical services for children with significant emotional, behavioral, and learning challenges. Every other Wednesday afternoon, students have a chance to pursue non-academic interests while practicing social skills. Team sports are held in three, 45-minute sessions, first for Elementary students and then for Middle School students. One or two volunteers per shift will assist the Gym teacher in this enrichment experience.

We're seeking athletic volunteers who enjoy engaging and encouraging children. Positivity, team-building, and a consistent commitment are more important than agility! Please sign up for at least one shift per month.
