Volunteer Opportunities
 

Volunteer opportunities abound at the 14th & Chestnut Community Center for church, civic organizations, youth groups, and individuals.

Our volunteer application is available from our office. We do insist on a thorough review of all volunteers in a dedicated effort to provide a safe, loving environment for our children. Personal reference reviews and criminal histories are completed on all volunteer applicants.

Many different volunteer positions, time commitments, duties, and experiences are available. Most come to the Center to give back to their community and discover that instead, they have been blessed and moved by the experience.
