We have some basic requirements to volunteering with us:

- Preference for Spanish and Central American Indigenous Languages
- We ask they have access to a car to get to meetings with the child
- Complete background checks
We will be hosting an in-person Volunteer Child Advocate training April 11th and 12th in Grand Rapids, MI. However, if you are unable to attend the training, please still apply as we will have multiple trainings every year in both virtual and in-person formats.
