Regularly scheduled helpers are needed Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm (at least a 2-hour period) to answer telephones; maintain files and charts; shred documents; interact with young children; data entry, etc. People are also needed to work 5:00 to 7:00 pm Tuesday night to greet counseling group members and direct them to meeting rooms. Office work such as folding, addressing, and stuffing envelopes can be done on-site or at home.

Groups or individuals needed for lawn maintenance and beautification (cut grass, trim shrubbery, pull weeds, mulch, etc.) Groups or individuals are also needed to help with building maintenance and repair.
Other Opportunities:
The Children's Advocacy Center has a collection of seasonal/holiday decorations and needs help with displaying and taking down these decorations: particularly at Christmas time.
There are on-going volunteer opportunities in fundraising: placing phone calls, organizing and setting up breakfasts, agency tours, and other events.
We ask that volunteers who work with Children's Advocacy Center maintain strict confidentiality of our clients and their files. All volunteer applicants are also asked if they have ever been convicted of a crime or a founded case of child sexual or physical abuse and must be willing for CAC to secure a criminal history and Central Registry (child abuse) verification. All of this is for the protection and safety of the children we serve.
Call 515-9922 if you are interested in getting involved!
