What can you do to help ChildSafe? Volunteers are the heart of non-profit agencies; they help ChildSafe carry out the mission of serving abused and neglected children in our community. Give the most important gift of all, your time.

Recurring Activities:

• Direct Service with Children: Greeters and friendly faces help us provide a safe and welcoming environment for our kids - help them with play activities while they are waiting for a forensic interview or therapy session.
• Administrative Support: Assist staff by completing needed tasks or help prepare for an upcoming event.
• Garden Volunteer: Help us maintain our therapy garden and outside areas through various activities.
• Animal-Assisted Therapy: Registered therapy dogs and their handlers volunteer with children in our lobby.

Occasional and One-Time Events:

Opportunities vary as activities are scheduled by staff.

• Coordinate a Drive:
• Invite your friends and family to collect and donate new needed items for our Rainbow Room.
