Ways To Help
In 1996, Greenbriar established Project Safe Place, which focuses on the prevention of child abuse and neglect by partnering with local businesses to provide safe havens for youth ages 10-17 in need.
You can help make a difference in our community! A simple gesture of sharing the Safe Place flyer, could help a child in need.
We are blessed to have the volunteer services of compassionate citizens in our surrounding communities. Volunteers help provide the heartbeat of any service-oriented organization. Volunteers often find that not only does their service bless others, but it blesses them as well!
Due to the nature of our services, many of these volunteer activities require screening, background checks and confidentiality agreements. The staff members will help guide you through whatever processes are needed for particular volunteer work.
Individuals must be 21 years or older to volunteer. We can only accept volunteers under the age of 21 under special circumstances.
