Welcome Volunteers
We are always looking for new volunteers and have many rewarding opportunities available for you.
Our Early Care and Education program provides low cost, quality care to children from low income and poverty level homes whose parents are working or going to school. The Center serves 100 children daily ranging in age from 18 months to five years old and is open Monday through Friday. Volunteers can work in the child care center as teachers' aides. Responsibilities include reading to the children, being a mentor, helping with arts and crafts, meals, and circle time. Volunteer shifts are: 8:30 am – 12:30 pm and 3:00 pm – 5:30 pm. Some weekend and evening shifts are available. Other opportunities are available on a seasonal basis. Have a talent you would like to share? Art, music, dance? Please call to let us know.
Join WCC's Auxiliary! This group of volunteers organizes and hosts our annual Children's Arts Festival to raise operating funds for WCC. This event is a day of fun for children and their families. The Auxiliary meets throughout the year; the number of meetings increases two months prior to the event. We are always looking for volunteers to help plan the Arts Festival by joining the Auxiliary Committee. Volunteers are also needed to help the day of the event.
Join the Big Hearts Club! This group of volunteers organizes and hosts our annual Cami Markman Memorial Big Hearts Club Luncheon, to raise operating funds for WCC. The luncheon is held the first week in May to coincide with Mother's Day.
Create your own volunteer group! WCC is fortunate enough to work with a variety of groups throughout the year. These groups take on projects ranging in size and scale from helping in our child care center to organizing fund raising events. Have an idea? Let us know!
All volunteers must present a note from their doctor indicating that have had a negative Tb test within the last year. All volunteers 18 and over are required by law, to have a criminal background check, including a child abuse index. Please note there is a fee for this procedure.
