VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

Monies for the program's activities are obtained through fundraisers, donations from individuals, service clubs, organizations, churches, foundations and businesses. By satisfying a child's most basic needs such as attention, affection, praise, recognition, and status, volunteers hope to raise the child's self-esteem. Children are referred to us from parents, schools, agencies, or citizens. Parents and children must be willing to cooperate. Learn more about the Indian River County Youth Guidance Mentoring and Activities Program and how you can volunteer!

In order to help every child in need start school with new shirts, Youth Guidance is holding a Polo Shirt Drive!
