Volunteer at RAH

There are many opportunites for you to help others here at RAH in many different ways. Please contact us if you are interested in volunteering.

Help with RAH Activities

You can help our participants directly by volunteering at scheduled RAH activities and programs. At activities, volunteers help assist participants and socialize with them. Volunteers may also assist staff members by serving food, setting up, cleaning up and/or supervising portions of the activity.
