Synapse House hosts an annual Gala and Golf Outing Fundraiser. We'd love to create and hold new, fun and exciting events and welcome your creative ideas. Supply drives are also a great way for volunteers to help out at their place of work or through clubs.
YOU can help us Engage, Empower & Employ
When you volunteer with us you’ll work side by side with Clubhouse Members and staff accomplishing rehabilitative goals that make a significant difference in Member lives and our non-profit organization.
There are numerous ways to get involved, and several facets of our organization could benefit from your gift of time and talent. Short and long-term volunteer opportunities are available to help with daily programming in our Clubhouse.
Volunteers help is critical to our success in serving those with brain injury and stroke.

Interested in Joining the Synapse House Board of Directors?
We navigated through the pandemic by expanding program and service offerings to include both in-person and remote opportunities.
Now, our sights are set on the future with plans to move our Clubhouse location and expand our programming.
Individuals with the skills and interest in helping us work through this transition are encouraged to apply for a two-year renewable term on our Board of Directors.
Members of our Board work with Executive and Development Directors and staff to accomplish annual strategic plan objectives:
