Volunteers at SYG make up a diverse group of dedicated, fun, loving, accepting, creative and motivated individuals. Without volunteers SYG would simply not exist, our programs are planned, organized and carried out largely by volunteers. It is through their creativity and desire to live in an inclusive community that makes SYG programs both beneficial and enjoyable for our members with special needs and volunteers alike. Volunteers do not need to have experience working with individuals with special needs before coming to SYG programs, all they need is an open mind, a drive to help others and a desire to have a good time.
