Established in 1977, Assisteens® Auxiliary is a nonprofit, volunteer organization comprised of 60 teenagers in grades 7 through 12 who are interested in learning the value of volunteering while developing leadership and organizational skills. Under the guidelines of Assistance League and Assistance League Diablo Valley, these energetic gamechangers select their own philanthropic programs and raise the funds necessary to implement them, while supporting many of the chapter’s programs and its thrift shop.

Membership is now open for the 2021-2022 school year until September 30. If you enjoy organizing and hosting holiday parties for elementary schoolchildren, writing and sending cards to homebound seniors, shopping for clothing for homeless youth, or participating in a fashion show, just to name a few, you will “make a difference” as an Assisteen.
