Meet a volunteer

Jeff thought about volunteering but was afraid he might be unable to handle the emotional impact of working with abused children.

“From the first minute I walked into the classroom, it was not tough at all,” says the Seattle real estate agent, who’s been volunteering for nearly four years.

Classroom volunteers

Our four branch locations welcome the loving care and attention of volunteers willing to commit to working in a classroom one day a week for a two hour period between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. for at least six months.

Classroom volunteers support our therapeutic child care program by assisting the therapeutic child care workers and providing additional nurturing for infants and preschool children.
