Childcare Volunteer

Are you interested in making a difference in a child's life? Providence House keeps children safe and families together, supporting families through crisis and strengthening communities.

If you are committed to helping others, value communication, and collaboration, and are passionate about what we do, we'd love to have you join our team! Childcare Volunteers provide support to the Childcare Staff through direct work with the children and through the completion of laundry, meal preparation, and light cleaning tasks.
