Who are SamariTeens?

SamariTeens are a volunteer group of 14–17-year-olds, from 8^th graders to high school seniors, who want to provide ongoing support to Samaritan’s patients and families through a variety of activities like craft nights, game socials at long term care communities, annual and special event support, and more!

We also offer Independent Projects if you would rather not join a group. Service Hours provided. No mandatory requirements. See Opportunities Below.

Independent Projects

We welcome you, your friends, groups, and clubs to do independent projects like crafts, fundraisers, and collection drives for Samaritan. Each of these projects directly support our patients and their families. See some popular ideas below.

Clay Hearts

This special and unique gift helps to memorialize and honor a family’s loved one who just passed away on Samaritan’s services. Staff presents the clay hearts as part of a ritual by placing the heart in the caregiver’s hand and reciting the beautiful verse that comes with each heart.
