Interested in volunteering?
There are many ways to help: at our events, at our branches and through your own fundraising efforts.
Help an individual child or family
Learn more about group or individual projects, including our Brighter Brithday and Adopt-a-Family programs that help a child or family.
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.
