Volunteer
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Children’s Home + Aid! Every day volunteers support Children’s Home + Aid’s mission – to give children help, hope and opportunity. Whether reading stories to a classroom at our Child + Family Centers, playing catch with a foster child, helping a child with homework, or providing support to our office staff, volunteers make a difference in the lives of children and families.
A variety of volunteer opportunities are available from weekly to once a month to a one-time event or activity. Volunteers are placed in positions based on interest, need, skills, location and availability. All volunteers receive training and ongoing support from Children’s Home + Aid staff.
