Montgomery County Juvenile Court Reclaiming Futures is seeking caring community volunteers to provide guidance, support and encouragement to court-involved youth and their families. The volunteers, called Natural Helpers, encourage youth and families throughout drug treatment, help connect them to community resources and organizations, and participate in positive activities. Natural Helpers also build on a young person's strengths to help them overcome the challenges they may face in their family, in school, in their neighborhood and with peers. Those interested in becoming a Natural Helper should contact Reclaiming Futures at (937) 496-6737 or sign up online at www.VolunteerDayton.org.
