With the generous support of: 

The Mitzvah Volunteer Program is an Eight week training program for boys and girls ages 12-13 that teaches our volunteers how to interact with children who have special needs. Volunteers will learn about various disabilities, appropriate conduct when volunteering, the importance of giving back to the community and the huge impact they can make on others.

The first four weeks of the  program will include guest speakers, video presentations, simulations, fun games and activities. Following the training program participants will partner with an experienced volunteer for Four additional weeks. Following the training Mitzvah Volunteers will be able to participate in the program of their choice. This program is perfect for someone who has a Mitzvah Project to complete, needs community service hours, or for any new volunteer at the Friendship Circle.

* If you are a new volunteer ages 12-13, the Mitzvah Volunteer Training Program is a prerequisite before you can volunteer in any of the other Friendship Circle Programs. If you have any questions feel free to contact the Mitzvah Program coordinator at 248-788-7878 ext. 208
