Volunteering
- We have public events.
- We have several committees that could use assistance.
- We also have a Board of Directors. Right now we would especially love to involve more people with business, legal, and medical expertise, but everyone’s talents and enthusiasm will be of great use.
We need volunteers who can offer a variety of skills in event planning, administrative assistance, communications, funding, program development, and, when we open, infant and child care, creative expression, developmental play, and more.
To volunteer, please contact Juliana Bruno, our Volunteer Coordinator
