• How long does it take to complete my background check?

  We have the software to complete it in just a few minutes!

• What is the volunteer orientation?

  Volunteer orientations are held once a month in the evening (usually 5-8 p.m). These orientations include videos, child care training and an extensive tour of the Center. We do not have orientations in November or December because of the holidays.

• Do I have to attend orientation in order to start volunteering?

  Yes, there are no exceptions and no one is allowed to pick up a volunteer shift unless they have completed the training. Following a 30-minute personal interview, you are given orientation information.

• What if I want to commit to ONE day during ONE specific time?

  That is perfectly fine! If you know you can volunteer one day a week for two hours, let us know and we will set you up with projects and a schedule.

• I have a history of abuse. Is that a problem?

  Not at all. If you have dealt with abuse, we welcome your support in our fight against child neglect and abuse.
