Hillsides Volunteer Network (HVN) started in 1994 to offer an organized, easy way for caring men and women—and couples—to positively impact the lives of children and youth who have experienced trauma. Today, HVN raises funds for activities and programs, and sponsors outings with the children in Hillsides' care.

How much time is required?
That's up to you. Some members attend just one or two events a year, while others participate in an event or activity every month. HVN is the perfect choice for adults who want to volunteer but cannot make a weekly commitment.

How can I help?
HVN is a small group, so there are always opportunities to pitch in. When Los Angeles County COVID-19 regulations permit, HVN will start holding in-person events with the children again. HVN has treated the kids to everything from baseball games to high tea to scaled-down formula car racing. While Hillsides staff members are always present, we need enough HVN members to attend to offer support and encouragement. The kids respond well to individual attention, and don't mind if you're not very good at miniature golf!
