Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra welcomes students ages 13-17 to participate in the Teen Volunteer Program (TVP)!

Laurel Martin teaches teen volunteer, Clare Peckenpaugh, how to identify trees at Convict Lake.

This program teams up a teen volunteer with an experienced adult volunteer who will teach the teen to prepare our students with disabilities for their lesson by getting adaptive equipment ready and assisting with lessons as well as other duties that aid DSES.

This opportunity gives teens a chance to learn sound work ethics, gain self-confidence through leadership opportunities, and break down discriminating fears and barriers by volunteering in an inclusive venue all while having fun!
