VOLUNTEER

and help a child find their smile.

Volunteering is an integral part of our work at A Child’s Haven, and the experience is something truly special. You get to take part in the transformation of a child and his or her family. In the process, we think you’ll be transformed as well.


Whether you prefer to work directly with young children, with families, or want to help out around the center, we have a place for you.
