Join Our Volunteer Team

Our programs are made possible with the generous help of our volunteers. Without them we could not do what we do.

To become a volunteer, follow these four steps:

Step 1: Submit your name and contact info to the office.
Step 2: Schedule and hold an interview with the staff.
Step 3: Pass a national background check if you are helping in any position that works with or around children.
Step 4: Find your role!!
For most programs volunteers need to be available Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. We do not schedule on weekends except for special events.
