Volunteer

The Child Development Council is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that relies on the many contributions of the community. Here are several ways you may support the agency through volunteering:

Office Support - We operate a busy office and occasionally have projects that involve general office skills, such as copying, collating, and resource inventory.

Social Gathering Organizer - our two home visiting programs for families with infants and toddlers offer social gatherings once or twice a year. These events are often held in the park and food is donated from area businesses.

Student Support, Work Study and Internships - These opportunities are agreed upon on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us if you have a skill, project or idea to share.

Board of Directors - Members of the Board of Directors are elected volunteers responsible for the governance the agency. Our goal is to maintain a representative group of people, reflecting the needs of our constituencies and the community as a whole.
