We welcome volunteers of all ages. For youth volunteers, we ask that a responsible adult always be present to volunteer with them. 

We will work with you to coordinate a volunteer shift based on your schedule. Please select your preferred shift in the volunteer form. 

a.     We have a dedicated training offered on a rotating basis for all individuals interested in volunteering; we offer this through LDA’s Recovery Coach Academy (RCA). The training takes place over 5 days, for 6.5 hours each day, and includes a 30-minute lunch break. We offer 30 CEUs for the completion of this training. This must be completed by all volunteers prior to any volunteer shift. 

All volunteers are expected to wear closed-toe shoes and weather appropriate clothing. Masks and gloves will be provided upon request. 

Volunteers will be tasked with building maintenance, supporting LDA events, peer coaching, organizing and hosting game night, organizing and hosting movie night, workshops, cleaning, and telephone recovery support calls. 

We welcome those looking to complete court-ordered community service and offer a Volunteer Time Sheet to track hours completed. Upon request, LDA can provide a letter of progress or completion. 

There are no physical requirements for volunteers. Accommodations can be arranged, so please don’t hesitate to contact us. 

We welcome group volunteers in addition to individuals! Please complete the volunteer form so that we may contact you. 

All supplies needed for volunteering are provided. We welcome volunteers to bring their own snacks; water is provided by LDA. 

If you aren’t able to volunteer as scheduled, please contact us at (724) 212-7899. We can work with you to either reschedule your volunteer shift, or cancel if needed. 

We ask that all volunteers arrive 10-15 minutes prior to the start of their volunteer shift so that we may start promptly at the scheduled time. 

We are located at 408 8th Street, Rear Entrance, New Kensington, PA 15068. Volunteers can park in our parking lot at no cost for the duration of their volunteer shift.
