Join our partners in supporting us
Our team continuously strives to make Somerset Brownstone an inclusive, supportive living space. We would like an intern or dedicated volunteer to help during the summer and with the Out of School Time program. We would also like to have a community tablet and color printer to bring some color to our postings and community rooms. Can you help us achieve this goal?
