Catholic Charities' Day Treatment provides academic and therapeutic services to emotionally at-risk children ages 10 to 18.

Children receive individual and group counseling that allows them to successfully reintegrate into their local school districts.

The youth in Day Treatment attend school and therapy/counseling during the day and go home to their families at night.

Primary Duties:
There are several breaks, including lunch, throughout the day during which the volunteers are needed to provide supervision.
