Thank you for your interest in volunteering!

Volunteers are an essential part of our organization. As a small, non-profit we depend on the energy, enthusiasm, time and hard work that volunteers contribute. Volunteers serve as mentors, child caregivers, workshop co-facilitators, committee members, special event assistants, professional support and more!
