My wife and myself have been involved with Hillsides for over 10 years. There are many ways to get involved in the organization, listed below.

Recovery through Recreation

DSC_2501_resized

At Hillsides, recreation is more than just an activity to pass the time. Recreation staff work with the residential treatment team to integrate each child’s treatment goals while working with them in the afternoon. Teaching children about healthy food choices, identifying fun activities they like, or developing their social skills in group settings are just a few of the ways the staff meet the children’s goals. So the recreation room and incentives are a critical component in keeping things relative and fresh for our children. Oftentimes recreation staff use donated items as incentives and work in a bare bones recreation room to exercise their program with the children and youth. Sports equipment is always in need. Music incentives are fast becoming a form of recreation for Hillsides children that helps their self-expression. For these reasons, Hillsides launched its Recovery through Recreation on Indiegogo.

Please take the time to visit Hillsides campaign and consider being part of the children’s recovery. Sharing the campaign page with co-workers, family, and friends can make such a difference for Hillsides and those they serve.
