About this Opportunity
Help create a comforting and welcoming environment for children visiting CARE House. Volunteers in our Child Assist role play a key part in easing the anxiety of children who are being forensically interviewed regarding allegations of abuse.
As a Child Assist volunteer, you will:
Greet child(ren) and their caregiver at our front door and welcome them into CARE House.
Help them settle into their private waiting rooms by offering snacks and age-appropriate activities.
Provide emotional support and a calming presence before and after the interview.
Forensic interviews are scheduled Monday through Friday during office hours, and volunteers have the flexibility to set their own schedules. If you have a passion for helping kids and making a difference in their lives, this is the perfect position for you!
