Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer in a Classroom

Ongoing volunteer opportunities enable volunteers to get to know a certain group of children well, so we ask that you please take these commitments and relationships seriously. The following list provides examples of ways you may get involved:
-
Lend support in our infant, toddler, and preschool classrooms
-
Help serve or supervise lunch and snack time
-
Read to our children
-
Supervise or lead various activities (e.g. games, songs, arts and crafts projects, drawing, coloring, sand table, etc.)
-
Help supervise children at Ellis’ Children’s Park or on a walk nearby
Classroom shifts occur Monday through Friday in the morning (9:30 am - 12:30 pm) and in the afternoon (3-5:30 pm).
All volunteers must be at least 16 years old and undergo a Background Check (BRC) and fingerprinting through the Department of Early Education and Care.
