Volunteer & Intern Opportunities

Students and teachers benefit from having additional support in the classroom. While classrooms vary, activities might include reading time, help with art and science projects, play yard monitoring, help cleaning, field trip support and more. You will be matched with a classroom that best complements your interests and skills.

Must be willing to commit to a minimum one-hour shift weekly, for 3-6 months or more. Volunteers must participate in one orientation session before beginning service.

If you are organized and enjoy helping with mailings, filing, archiving or other office duties, we welcome the support. Or, do you prefer to be out and about, supporting special events and outreach opportunities? Let us know! Hours vary based on need. Please contact us for available opportunities.

Please note, the minimum volunteer hour requirement is not applicable in this capacity.

o Assist with family programs, such as the Nurturing Program or Parent Connection, by assisting with childcare/serving meals.

o Provide additional support during parent/child playgroups.

Through book fairs and other activities, the Literacy Program focuses on the development of reading skills in young children and promotes the importance of literacy in life. Literacy not only enriches an individual’s life but creates confidence, empowerment and access to opportunity.

Looking for a group opportunity for your workplace or school? From book drives to one-time projects, we might have an opportunity for your team! Please contact Kathy Wilson, Volunteer Coordinator at kwilson@pw4c.org for more information.
