Placement Protocol


We work with each school to tailor the volunteer experience for their students. Students can visit 440 River Road weekly or can create virtual volunteer opportunities.

Virtual opportunities might look like, a band class playing their instruments and sharing stories about past concerts. Cooking demonstrations from a nutrition class, a physical education class hosting a dance lesson. We encourage your students to get creative and create meaningful opportunities to connect with the people we support.

Volunteer opportunities at 440 River Road will be based on the needs of the programs and services that are happening on the days students are visiting; they may vary from week to week.

“The St.Amant volunteer program offers incredibly diverse and fulfilling opportunities to anyone who joins, no matter how they want to help. As a student who only began volunteering because of school credit requirements, I quickly found that the rewarding experiences and strong friendships I built here transformed this obligation of mine into an enjoyable, long term, career-defining commitment!”
