Alumni
Our Brentwood Alumni
Brentwood Alumni are people whom have graduated the Brentwood Program and continue to come back for their Aftercare. Part of their Aftercare is giving back what they were once received. Our Alumni are encouraged not just to come back to meetings or counselling, but to give back to the New Person first coming into Brentwood. Following that person from their first day on program up until their Graduation.
Alumni Volunteering
Many alumnus volunteer and help in whatever way they are able to. Some examples are giving rides to appointments, working men or women’s duty, visiting people, helping with the Brentwood Lottery, etc.
