With the gift of time, talent and wisdom, Children’s Respite Care Center’s special children benefit from the 1:1 interaction that a volunteer can offer. Volunteers are important to the success of CRCC’s unique services as they function as positive role models offering support, encouragement and companionship to our special clientele. We feel this program provides a mutually rewarding experience for both the volunteer as well as the child.
To be eligible, volunteers must be at least 14 years of age and complete the application process and service area training. Volunteers may sign-up to assist one-time or on an on-going basis. We also have opportunities available for community groups.
