Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Just a few hours - that's all it takes to make a difference in the lives of families with sick children.

We have several opportunities available to match your interests. Please indicate which program you are interested in when you respond.

In-House Volunteers (Minimum six month commitment; Ages 18 & up): These volunteers help families feel at home so they can concentrate on their child's recovery. Tasks may include answering the telephone, checking families in and out, restocking guest rooms, giving tours, light housekeeping, and providing support to the families.

After a screening process and a tour, training is provided to help volunteers become familiar with House layout and procedures. Volunteers are needed from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Four-hour shifts are available daily starting at 9 a.m., 1 p.m., and 5 p.m.

Parent-Directed Volunteers (Ages based on maturity of each child): Projects include helping with chores around the House, baking desserts and other snacks, organizing a craft or game night for the families, preparing toiletry or candy bags for the rooms, preparing pop tabs for recycling and other special projects as needed.

Group Volunteers: Opportunities available for groups interested in helping our Houses include providing a meal for our families through our Share-A-Meal program, organizing a fundraiser or Wish List Drive,spring cleaning,creating welcome kits,conducting an arts and crafts or game night and collecting pop tabs.
