Raising Resilience has been a volunteer driven nonprofit organization since 2003.

We are Bainbridge Island's parent support organization and the island residents who make up the

Raising Resilience team care deeply about families, youth, and building healthy, strong communities.

​

Parenting is a tough job! We get it.

We don't exist to judge; we exist to help our parenting community walk this journey together

for the benefit of all youth and families on Bainbridge Island.

Volunteers

Community members who give their time through other volunteer roles are just as much a part of the circle as the rest of the team. These include members of local PTOs, teachers and staff, grandparents, and (of course) parents. If you are interested in ways to give your time or services, please contact us at with the word volunteer in the subject line.
