Classroom Volunteer
Classroom volunteers offer direct support to our teachers and help our children form strong bonds of trust with their peers, their teachers, and the learning environments around them. We ask that you plan to volunteer with the same class for no less than six months.
Grandmas2Go Family Coach
Become a Grandpa or Grandma2Go and experience the rewarding fulfillment of helping families with little ones learn and thrive.
Our Grandma and Grandpa volunteers—adults with a lifetime of wisdom and compassion—nurture, mentor, and support families with children ages 0-5, giving them the extra help they need to raise their little ones. In turn, they experience renewed purpose, belonging, and the joy of giving back.
Respite Volunteer
This FREE program always needs help with childcare during our parenting classes, special family events, foster parents’ night out and to just give p arents/kids a well-deserved break. We can never have too many people to love our littles, keeping ratios small and engagement high!
Farm Program Volunteer
Our Farm Program volunteers keep our farm in working order. Our farm manager will put you to work planting, weeding, and tending to our produce. We also have maintenance and construction projects available. If you like to be outdoors and work with your hands, this is the volunteer opportunity for you!
Admin/Clerical Support Volunteer/Facilities
We’re always looking for help with filing, scanning and other office tasks! If this is something you’re interested in, we can call you in to help our team on an as-needed basis. If you have a specialized skill that you’d like to share, tell us about it!
Spread the Word
Contact us with your genius social media marketing strategy. If we like it, we’ll put you in charge of it. The outreach committee may be a great option as well!

Board members meet monthly to advise FNC leaders and govern Family Nurturing Center. They oversee policy, set direction, and promote the organization to support our mission and help us meet our needs. We encourage you to try participating on a committee prior to participating on the board.
Fundraising and Events
Whether we’re organizing an annual fundraiser, preparing for a monthly open house or simply hosting a family fun event for our client, we always need extra help. If you like planning and scheduling, as well as set up and clean up at these events, we would welcome your help!
