Volunteers help early childhood projects in a variety of ways. If you are interested in volunteering, here are some possibilities:
- Assist with children during parenting classes – These volunteers could be adults or teens who have an interest in children. Activities may include doing craft projects, helping with homework, and monitoring children’s play. Parents are on site.
