games night volunteer

Inner Hope’s monthly Games Night provides a safe, loving, supervised environment where youth can gain a place of belonging, build friendships, and have "good clean fun". It gives youth a healthy space to spend a Saturday night. And it's often a way to connect new youth with our Life Skills programs. Games Night is held at “The House,” Inner Hope’s community space.
