Volunteer/Intern
Volunteers are needed at The Children’s Center to help with general tasks important to day to day operations. Volunteers may spend only a few hours on a quick project or volunteer multiple hours per week on a regular basis. Both weekday and weekend opportunities are available. The first step is to fill out an application and schedule a tour of The Center. All volunteers must pass a background check.
