Assisteens®, an auxiliary of Assistance League® of Diablo Valley, is now accepting applications from tweens and teens entering grades 7-12 in the fall of 2018. Assisteens Auxiliary currently represents 17 schools in our local community.
Assisteens commit to a minimum of 35 volunteer hours per year. Activities include philanthropic community service programs, fundraising, monthly meetings and special events. As a result, Assisteens learn the value of volunteerism while developing leadership and organizational skills.

One of the philanthropic programs that the Assisteens plan and conduct is Holiday Parties for Children at an elementary school in Concord. For the spring themed party in April, 50 children enjoyed activities such as face painting, coloring, cookie-decorating and games, all led by attentive Assisteens and the surprise guest…Big Bunny. As they left the party, the schoolchildren received two new books, balls and jump ropes as party favors. Knowing that Assisteens brightened the day for these children was in itself their reward.
