June - Phil, a Special Friend
Phil has been a mentor to a young man, Joe, age 16, for seven months. During
this time, Phil has succeeded in the development of a sensitive, productive Mentor/Friend
relationship that has been a blessing to all involved, including PA. Joe's therapist
sent a letter of commendation advising of the success both Joe and Phil have made.
Listed below are areas currently in need of volunteers. If you would like to
help in any of these areas or if someone you know would like to
volunteer their time, then please call your local office.
