Professional
Events
– We are always in need of volunteers for our
Monthly Meeting.
Monthly meeting volunteers are primarily needed to facilitate
childcare. Our parents cannot benefit from our meetings
without your aid in playing and interacting with their
children. Can you give three hours on a Saturday, once
a month? How about six hours?
Volunteers
are invited to be apart of our planning, developmental,
and educational meetings. Volunteers can come for the
morning English meeting and learn, and then watch children
in the afternoon for the Spanish meeting!
Being bilingual is a plus because we have many Spanish-speaking
only members.
Volunteers'
priceless skills are in demand in the areas of:
Administrative help: organizing, phone calls, and database
entry
Maintenance help: Fixing the odds and ends of our Resource
Center so members and the community can fully access
all of the resources here for them.
Come learn and excel with us!
