Volunteer

We all play a role in building strong communities where individuals, children and families are valued and supported. Volunteering can give your mind, heart and body a jumpstart! Volunteer Village is a project of the Child Abuse Prevention Council Placer designed to recruit community volunteers to work with children and their families.

Every volunteer will receive orientation, training and support to carry out their assigned role as a Volunteer Village Volunteer. Complete the online application below if you would like to learn more about joining the Volunteer Village.

One of the following volunteer opportunities may be just for you:

Family Literacy Specialists promote a learning environment for children through story time and educational craft activities. Parents and children develop deeper bonds, establishing regular reading habits.

Tutor/Mentor: work one-on-one with school-aged children to assist with homework and become a mentor.

Marriage Mentors help other couples grow great marriages. Have you learned things along the way in your marriage? Can you share encouraging stories about what you have learned? Using the 12 Conversations program, mentor couples interact with newlyweds or couples entering a new stage of marriage. This program fosters the growth of couples, not the “repair or counseling” of troubled couples.

Parent Coaches provide support to families with children, ages 3-5, who have completed CAPC’s HomeFirst program.

Parent Leadership Facilitators assist in organizing and facilitating once-per-month leadership sessions promoting parents as leaders. Strong Parents; Strong Communities teaches parents about their community and how to become effective advocates and participants.

One-Time Project volunteers participate in special projects requiring one day or less to complete. Available projects vary on a month-to-month basis.
