Contribute to Our Success

Young & Healthy is built on an army of dedicated volunteers. We invite you to help. Our volunteers wear many hats. They are, of course, the health care professionals. They are also men and women who help staff the office of the school nurse, who help hunt special services for particular children, who drive the children to their appointments, teach dental hygiene, follow up with parents, or assist us in our administrative office. They are also the people who give financial support to the program.
