volunteer opportunities

friends of MDS

The Friends of Maria is a volunteer organization that supports the mission of Maria Droste Counseling Center. The purpose of the organization is two-fold:

  • Assist with fundraising events and activities that increase awareness of Maria Droste in the community
  • Participate in projects or programs that directly benefit the constituency served by Maria Droste

Members of the Friends share a passion and zeal for service to disenfranchised populations in our community. They hold a common belief that all children, adults and families deserve access to high-quality counseling and mental health care, regardless of their ability to pay for services.
