If you’re interested in getting involved with mental health support, please check out these volunteering opportunities! If you want to volunteer become a contributor for this website, please refer to our contact us section!
MISSION: We want to stop the shame, prejudice and secrecy associated with mental health so that more people, especially teens and young adults, will seek help more often and feel comfortable doing so. We want to educate people about the signs that someone may be in distress and provide guidance on how to help. We want people to know that although people experience dark times, there is hope and help waiting to be given. We want people to know how to find that help.
- Volunteers have a wide range of opportunities to choose from (no certain skills required) including outreach, advocacy, fundraising, presentations, event planning, blogging, etc.

The Greenbelt Animal Shelter :
Volunteer Skills: social media outreach, events planning, fundraising, organizing, dog walking, cat socializing, fostering and the list goes on and on. Our animals benefit from every positive human interaction they have. We are not about setting limits on how you may contribute to our program. If you would like to sit in our cat room and pet a cat after a rough day at work, you aren’t only making yourself feel better but you are interacting with an animal that may have otherwise been missing attention.
- Volunteer hours are Monday-Friday from 4-7pm.
