You don’t have to work in behavioral health to make a difference in behavioral health. Volunteers help StrongSteps bring our mission beyond our offices and into communities across New York.
Some events raise awareness. Some raise funds. Some connect people with resources. Some celebrate the people making a difference.
Whether you want to attend, volunteer, sponsor, participate, or bring your organization along, there's a place for you.
Help with setup, registration, welcoming attendees, and cleanup at StrongSteps events.
Help welcome families and run activities at our free outdoor movie nights.
Help organize and distribute holiday gifts for participating families.
Help connect community members with resources, education, and activities.
Help with registration, water stations, and course support on race day.
Help staff StrongSteps tables at community events and resource fairs.
Help with event preparation, donation organization, and registration.
Offer photography, design, marketing, event planning, or other professional skills.
StrongSteps welcomes inquiries from groups interested in volunteering together, including businesses, schools, clubs, and families.
Businesses can engage employees through event teams, Holiday for Hope, Community Day of Hope, and skilled volunteering. We'll work with your group to identify opportunities based on size, location, and interests.
Volunteering is different from employment or providing professional behavioral-health services.
Background checks, training, or other requirements may apply depending on the role.
Volunteers must protect any private or sensitive information they learn through their role.
Assignments involving children or young people may require additional supervision and permission.
Volunteers should never photograph or share information about clients or families without authorization.

StrongSteps reviews your information against current volunteer needs.
If matched, complete any applicable orientation, forms, or training.
Take your stronger step.
A few hours setting up an event matters. Welcoming a family matters. Sharing a skill matters. Give your time, share your strengths, and take a stronger step with your community.
