Childcare Volunteers

If you are committed to helping others, value communication and collaboration, and are passionate about our work to keep children safe and families together, we'd love to have you join our Providence House team!

Our Childcare Volunteers provide important support to our Childcare Staff through direct work with the children and through the completion of laundry, meal preparation, and light cleaning tasks.
