Do you have a big heart and a vivid imagination? Love spending time with kids and helping them explore the world? YPN is looking for volunteers to be the sidekick to a young child!
YPN hosts prenatal and parenting group meetings on Thursday evenings from 5:30–7:30 PM, year-round, with on-site childcare for children ages 0–5. This role is flexible, perfect for anyone looking to make a meaningful impact in a way that fits their schedule.
We especially welcome bilingual volunteers, as YPN serves Hispanic, African, and Afghan families who may speak limited or no English.
Volunteer Responsibilities:
- Engage and support children in a safe, nurturing environment
- Practice hand hygiene at all entrances/exits and between sessions
Requirements:
- Volunteers must complete an application, interview, and background check
- Must be 15 years or older to volunteer independently
If you’re ready to bring joy, creativity, and care to children while supporting families in our community, this is the role for you!
