Volunteer Program

"Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world; indeed it's the only thing that ever has."  —Margaret Mead

Catholic Social Services offers a variety of options to individuals wishing to donate their time. All volunteers are required to complete a volunteer application, provide three references, and interview with the Director of Quality Assurance or the Regional Director. Because of the potential contact with children, some volunteers are required to be screened through a criminal background check.

Some Available Opportunities

Volunteers who work at the Children's Center work directly with the children. Some of the duties include assisting with outdoor activities and field trips, assisting with play room cleaning maintenance, and playing games with the children.

Internships are available in a variety of programs, including foster care, adoption, and the various counseling programs.

Volunteers assist in the mentoring program with children by sharing time and talents, outside of the office, with children. Volunteers talk with the children about their experiences and help to provide positive role models.

Volunteers are always needed to help with the many tasks of keeping the agency operating. Some of the tasks include computer work, filing, and assisting with mailings.

Volunteers can also serve the agency by becoming a member on one of the many committees that help keep the agency running. The committees are involved with educating the public about our programs, identifying agency needs, and fundraising to name a few.

For more information on volunteer opportunities, please call or e-mail the Director of Quality Improvement (our Volunteer Coordinator) at 800-997-9702 Ext. 199, or one of the Regional Directors at the regional offices listed below.
