Perfect for individuals, groups, or businesses looking to make a meaningful impact without an ongoing commitment! Project-based volunteering requires no prior experience or long-term obligation - just your willingness to help. Whether it's assisting with a classroom activity, organizing supplies, supporting an event, or tackling a special project, every effort makes a difference.

Volunteers are always accompanied by a staff member, ensuring guidance and a smooth experience. Whether you're giving an hour or a day, your time helps support children and families in our community!

Join us for a project and make an impact - no commitment required!

Core Volunteers are the heart of our ongoing support system, making a lasting impact on the children and families we serve. This role is perfect for individuals looking for a deeper, more consistent volunteer experience. 
 
To ensure a safe and supportive environment, Core Volunteers complete a volunteer training, fingerprinting, and background check. They also receive an orientation tailored to their volunteer role and ongoing support from their assigned department. 
 
With a consistent schedule and support from the volunteer coordinator, Core Volunteers become valued members of our team, helping to create meaningful and lasting change in our community. 
 
Join us as a Core Volunteer and be part of something bigger!
