Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers play a key role in allowing Childplace to go above and beyond in meeting the needs of the children and families entrusted to us. There are multiple ways to volunteer at Childplace, here are a few:

One-Time Service Opportunity or Event

Childplace relies on numerous groups from local churches, businesses, etc, as well as individuals to complete specific service projects and campus events such as: painting, landscaping, organizing a mailout, light construction, cookouts for clients and families, craft projects with kids, Mother’s Day event for teen moms in Childplace’s Pregnancy and Parenting Program, etc. Volunteer participants in this category are required to sign a confidentiality/volunteer agreement and abide by a code of conduct while on the Childplace Campus. Events and one-time projects are supervised by Childplace staff at all times.

Childplace Volunteer Mentor

Mentors have direct contact with Childplace clients and provide support in areas of recreation, tutoring, mentoring of older adolescents, off-campus trips and outings, etc.
