Volunteer Opportunities: Volunteers are important assets to our non-profit organization. It is important to us to see our funding go directly back to the families; therefore, we have a very small paid staff. We rely heavily on volunteers to help with programs, office duties and events. Each volunteer goes through an application process, a background check, and a short training prior to beginning volunteer duties.

Internships: Year-round internships in the area of marketing/communications, fundraising, and program services are available. We are usually looking for students who need internships as part of their degree program and can commit to 10 hours a week over a few months.
