Volunteer Opportunities

We value the significant contributions volunteers make to the well-being and development of our members. Just one or two hours a week as a mentor can positively impact a child’s life.

We offer flexible opportunities for individuals and businesses to get involved:

  • One-Day, Special Events, and Short-Term Seasonal Options: Join us for a specific day to make an impact, support community events throughout the year, or volunteer for a short-term seasonal option of up to 5 days/20 hours within a 12-month period. STAY TUNED – Calendar will be updated soon.
  • Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities: Serve as a tutor or mentor regularly, with a commitment of at least 4 hours per month during the school year. Applicants for ongoing volunteer opportunities must be 18 years of age or older, complete a Volunteer Application, and complete a Level 1 background screening at their expense. Applicants for 21st CCLC programs must also complete a Level 2 background screening at their expense. All applicants will receive orientation and training. See below for opportunities:
