Positive Alternatives for Youth (PAY)
The Positive Alternatives for Youth (PAY) program is committed to supporting youth ages 12-20 to develop skills and be positively involved in the community.
Our staff is comprised of two case managers and a number of volunteer mentors who supervise and work alongside the youth.
The program involves shifts from a variety of seasonal and year long work centers.
The program requires a commitment to at least one volunteer shift a week.
