High School Volunteer Program

If you are a local high school student looking for meaningful experience consider participating in the Kinney Center’s High School Volunteer Program. High School Volunteers work alongside neurodiverse peers modeling appropriate behavior, participating in conversations and building friendships. Your role is essential to helping our participants with autism develop the communication and social skills needed to build relationships with family members, teachers, therapists, and peers. Your High School Volunteer experience will be guided by a Saint Joseph’s University undergraduate student, called a Kinney SCHOLAR. 

Session Offerings (Each session is two weeks and runs Monday-Thursday):
Session 1: June 22-July 2
Session 2: July 6-July 16
Session 3: July 20-July 30

Saint Joseph's University policy requires that all volunteers provide the following prior to starting at the Kinney Center: 

• Pennsylvania State Criminal History Record (Act 34)
• Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance (Act 51)
• Federal FBI Criminal History Report
