    Description

    We are looking for caring and compassionate volunteers to help create a warm, supportive environment for children and families. Volunteers will assist with setting up and cleaning up, help children with bathroom breaks and behavior support, and participate in fun art projects and activities.

    Volunteers will also provide nurturing, attentive childcare for approximately 5–6 children while their caregivers take part in their own bereavement support group. Your presence, patience, and kindness can make a meaningful difference by giving children a safe and welcoming space while their caregivers receive the support they need.
