Volunteering at Almost Home Kids

Volunteer Opportunities

Our volunteers are an integral part of the daily functions, providing a better quality of life for the children and families we serve.

Opportunities include:

• Recreational volunteers – These volunteers engage the children with play activities such as reading, puzzles, sensory toys or holding a baby. Opportunities are available seven days a week.
• Administrative volunteers – They support staff with a variety of office duties. These services are on an as-needed basis.
• Facility volunteers – These volunteers help with outside yard work or decorating for the holidays.
• Other opportunities – Almost Home Kids also needs volunteers to assist with coordinating fundraising events, donation drives and corporate volunteer days.
