Come on in and PLAY! Kids' Korner Children's Waiting Room needs YOU!
Details
Description
Are you young at heart? Do you love children? Do you want to make a difference in Lake County for children impacted by the judicial system?
At Kids' Korner we care for up to 9 children, ages 2-12-years-old, typically for 15 minutes to 3 hours at a time. We provide a safe and fun place for them to wait (AND PLAY!) while their parent or guardian attends to court business in the Lake County Courthouse in Waukegan. This is a FREE service we provide to the public.
We like to have fun while we wait for children to arrive! Flexibility is key! If you are happy to hang out with us, help us with projects or just chat while waiting for children and can switch gears to playing games, building train tracks, coloring, and creating a fun and safe environment for children when they arrive, you'd be a great fit for Kids' Korner.
At least one staff member is always present when you're scheduled.
- Volunteers may not have a criminal or custody case before the courts, may not be referred by the courts for community service, and may not be involved in a work release program.
