On Belay program volunteers play a very important role in helping programs run smoothly and in building a real sense of community for participants. Five years ago On Belay began a partnership with one of the residence halls at the University of New Hampshire (UNH).  These UNH students provide support for On Belay both during and between programs.  During programs, they serve as a critical link between participants and the adult facilitators.  The combination of  youth, vitality, resilience, energy, and compassion that these students bring to On Belay is reflected in the smiling faces of the children they serve.

“ I think I had as much fun as the kids if not more! I can’t wait to come back next time.”
-UNH Student Volunteer

While we continue to enjoy the benefits of this unique partnership, alongside the commitment of a number other regular volunteers, On Belay’s continued expansion means that we are always looking for more energetic, eager, and compassionate people to support the program in a variety of ways.
