No background check or other paperwork is required but you will need to provide proof of experience in your topic and do a short interview.

Events and Other

Projects come up sporadically and your commitment and availability can be flexible. No paperwork or background check is required.

Why Volunteer?

It feels incredible to give my time to Florence Crittenton. They have been a huge part of my life for over 10 years. When I see the excitement on their (clients’) faces and hear how much they appreciate the help, that is what keeps me going. Helping the families and staff at FCFS makes me feel like I am part of the solution to building a better community.

I appreciate the way that volunteers care for our kids and prepare meals for us. I am very thankful that they help support our recovery and have patience for us through that.

Volunteers teach us life skills and when they come in to provide support for our kids, it allows us time to take care of ourselves, take parenting classes, and complete homework.

I appreciate how much volunteers get to know us and genuinely care about our lives and who we are. It gives me a different perception of people and their intentions.”

Share Your Time and Talents

Thank you for your consideration of donating your time to Florence Crittenton! The gift of time is one of the greatest we can give to others. By serving as little as one hour per week as a volunteer, you can provide encouragement, boost someone’s self-esteem, and brighten someone’s future. In addition, your volunteer hours can provide cost savings to the organization. Current research indicates that volunteers provide an hourly rate of return of $29.95/hour. Many businesses have volunteer programs and opportunities for matching gifts based on volunteer hours, so please explore opportunities with your employer.

All volunteers that work directly with our children or clients must pass a criminal and Child Protective Services background check.
