    Description

    We’re currently seeking volunteers to help bring engaging activity groups to life at the BRC Tillary Women’s Residence, a 200-bed shelter in Brooklyn serving women living with mental illness. Our goal is to foster a warm, welcoming community where residents can connect, express themselves, and enjoy meaningful shared experiences.

    We’re looking for kind, enthusiastic individuals who are interested in leading small group activities on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Whether your passion is creative writing, poetry, arts & crafts, meditation, deep breathing, or another engaging activity, your time and talents can create moments of joy, connection, and self-expression for the women we serve.

    These groups are intentionally kept small to create a more personal and supportive environment for everyone involved. Sessions would ideally take place on weekday afternoons, though some evening availability may be possible. If you’re able to make a consistent commitment and are excited to share something you love, we would be delighted to have you join us in building something truly special.
