Program Description
Volunteers serving at Esplanade House have the opportunity to support families through on-site classes, child watch, family programming, donation organization, and special activities. Volunteers may assist with parent classes such as cooking, mindful movement, basic life skills, and gardening, as well as provide child watch for children while parents attend adult-only classes. Volunteers may also support Family Resource Center programs such as family playgroup, Crafty Cubs, and Little Bookworms by helping facilitate activities for children and parents. Additional opportunities include sorting donations for families, organizing the donation room, and helping plan family nights, teen nights, holiday activities, and other events. During on-site training, volunteers will learn more about available roles and be assigned tasks
accordingly.
