Volunteers
There are plenty of opportunities throughout the year to volunteer! Email the Volunteer Coordinator or any board member if you would like to volutneer your time.
After deciding to volunteer, you MUST get a background check form filled out and approved first. This is a policy that we must follow and that will help protect the children as well.
