VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Gosnold relies on volunteers to help us provide care
and enhance the treatment experience of the men, women
and children in treatment. Volunteers help women at
Emerson House learn about gardening by planting vegetable
and flower gardens. Volunteer artists teach watercolor
painting, modern dance, creative writing, stenciling,
yoga, and needlework. Other volunteers help by babysitting
at Emerson House while their mothers attend therapy
sessions.
Volunteers have participated in Community Caring day
events at the Miller House, working with residents on
beautification projects, painting and clean-up jobs
and other facility improvement activities.
