Why Donate
A Future Without Barriers
At Atlantic Wellness, we believe the future of our community depends on youth getting the care they need today without barriers, without delay, always free.
Your gift makes that possible. When you give, a teen in crisis can sit down with a therapist right away. They get a safe space, a listening ear, and real tools to move forward.
You’re not just funding a service. You’re giving brighter futures, stronger communities, and a chance for the next generation to thrive.
Become a Protector
Mental health doesn’t follow a calendar. Your monthly monthly gift ensures we are ready when they are. It keeps sessions free, reduces wait times, and ensures we never have to turn a youth away.

Volunteering
Volunteers play a powerful role in helping us build a more mentally well community.
Youth Advocacy
Youth voices matter. Our Youth Advocacy Committee is made up of local teens and young adults who care about mental health and want to make change.
Committee members help guide awareness campaigns, organize youth-friendly events, and ensure that our services reflect what young people actually need. Ages 15-24? Passionate about mental health?
United Way’s Day of Caring
Each June, we welcome volunteer groups through United Way’s Day of Caring - a one-day blitz where teams help us with important projects like organizing, painting, or deep cleaning.
Whether you're with a company or organization, it’s a great way to give back while spending meaningful time with your team.
Volunteer at Events
We host and attend several community events throughout the year - and we love having volunteers help out with setup, greeting, handing out materials, or simply showing some Atlantic Wellness spirit!
From assembling welcome packages to helping with admin tasks or event setup, we often need extra hands throughout the year. Perfect for those who like flexible, task-based volunteering.
Skills-Based Volunteering
Have a talent for handy work, creative skills, or public speaking? We'd love to connect you with projects that let you use your skills to amplify youth mental health support.
