Volunteer Opportunities
Our volunteers are people of all ages from all walks of life who are in various stages of their lives. Their commonality: the desire to make a difference in their communities and in their own lives. Through their generous contribution of time, they help make a significant difference in the lives of underprivileged children. Our non-profit organization depends on volunteers to help accomplish our mission. Offer your time to help the welfare of children and families through our various volunteer positions available.
We organize several annual activities including Easter and Christmas Parties. These activities require the help of volunteers to become a reality. By offering your time, you can help these parties become a magical impactful event for underprivileged children.
Below are several tasks we need volunteers to help with:
- Volunteers to participate as mascots, elves/helpers etc. on the day of the events
