| St. Patrick Center values the contributions that youth make to St. Patrick Center. Their energy and enthusiasm are great gifts to our agency! At the same time, we must be cognizant that there are some risks inherent in our work here. We therefore require that all volunteers age 15 and younger be accompanied by an adult, with a ratio of no more than four youth volunteers to one adult. Please see our Individual and Group Opportunities pages for project ideas. | ||
