Get Involved FAQs

Are there age restrictions or requirements?

Volunteers must be at least 14 years of age to volunteer on-site.  Volunteers aged 14 to 16 must be accompanied by an adult (parent, teacher, group leader) over the age of 21.  Volunteers between the ages of 14 and 18 must have a signed release from their parent or guardian to participate in volunteer activities.

Student Interns, Camp Counselors, and Head Start parent volunteers must complete a separate volunteer application.

What can kids under 14 do to help?

The act of service for others is good for all ages!  Anyone can volunteer and support our programs and services off site in a variety of ways that include making bagged lunches, hosting a wish list drive, or helping to raise funds through hosting a fundraiser or donation drive.
