What Will I Do?

Volunteers that choose to work with the Center for Child Protection become a part of a family. This family consists of hundreds of dedicated students, professionals and concerned members of the community. Every volunteer brings their own set of specialized skills to contribute to the abused and neglected children served at the Center for Child Protection.

You can help in a variety of ways and at different levels of time commitment. First, you just have to decide what path you would like to take.

Direct Service Path: Work directly with children and families

• Greet and interact with children and families before and after the interview process.
• Help educate children and their families about the court process.
• Provide childcare for siblings of children and parents participating in group therapy or parenting classes.
• Assist a pediatrician who conducts medical exams for evidence gathering purposes on children who have reported abuse.
• Earn credit towards an undergraduate or graduate degree by assisting the program staff.

Non-direct Service Path: Work in support of children and families

• Shop for supplies needed by families in crisis and sort items and donations for distribution.
• Become a speaker and educate the community on the services and programs offered at the Center.
• Participate in all aspects of the Center's fundraisers from sponsorship solicitation and graphic design to creating decorations and event set up.
• Enter data on Center's cases and produce statistical reports of children and families who receive services at the Center.
• Assist with a wide variety of tasks including mailing, data entry, copies, filing, scanning pictures, and related tasks.

Group volunteer opportunities are available for service organizations, fraternities, sororities, and employee programs. We also have the Friends of Christopher Guild, a ladies' membership organization that supports the Center through events and projects.
