Mentor, Tutor & Buddy

Volunteers at our state of the art facilities provide a safe and nurturing environment for children to recover and overcome the emotional impact of child abuse. 

Some of the possibilities include:

* Playroom Volunteer: The Playroom Volunteer provides supervision and comfort to abused children in the playroom while they are receiving various services at the advocacy center.

* Volunteer Mentor: Volunteer Mentors provide a positive influence in the lives of children who are at-risk. By providing companionship, emotional support and guidance, the mentor will help the child develop appropriate coping skills, enhance his or her self-esteem and teach the child how to develop healthy relationships. The mentor will also help with school work and encourage the child to complete school and set goals that may have once seemed impossible to obtain.

* Volunteer Administrative Assistant: Volunteers are needed to help the Program Directors with various administrative projects. Great working environment.
* Chapter/Auxillary Member: Volunteer chapters and auxiliaries of Childhelp are a diverse group of volunteers with a wide range of backgrounds, ages and interests.
