Volunteer Opportunities
You CAN make a difference!
Have you ever thought about volunteering with children and thought…
"What do I have to offer? I'm not an expert in any youth related area, I wouldn't know what to do." Fear not! You do not need to be an expert on anything but caring, and anything you need to know….we'll train you, and we'll be there to support you in your volunteer efforts.
Try it, you might love it.
Communities In Schools depends on volunteers to help make our program a success. Opportunities are not limited to those that are listed below! We can develop an experience to fit your needs. Please call Michelle Vosters at (817) 446-5454 for any additional information.
