Here at Rainbows, we see every child as a masterpiece waiting to be revealed, but treasured works of art don’t just happen on their own. They take time, resources and talent. And that’s where you come in! If you have a passion for fostering potential and finding beauty within, we’d love to find a place for you. There are many ways you can help meet the needs of children with special needs and their families in our community. We offer a variety of ways for volunteers to lend a hand, and if you aren’t sure which option is right for you, our skilled Volunteer Coordinator is happy to assist. Both one-time and long-term volunteer opportunities are available for individuals and/or groups.
“I’ve come to love my time at Rainbows. I’ll see a smile from one of the children, or hear a parent say ‘thank you.’ And I realize what I’m doing is the easy part.” – Volunteer
Individual Volunteers
Individual volunteers can choose from a wide variety of options. Rainbows has many needs in the classroom, outdoors and around the office. There are often special projects that also require volunteers. Current volunteer opportunities are listed in the below directory.
To volunteer for general positions at Kids’ Cove or Kids’ Point locations you may complete and submit the general volunteer application found in the Helpful Links box on the right side of this page.
Group Volunteers
Volunteer groups serve Rainbows in a variety of ways. You might take part in a work project (cleaning, gardening, building), facilitate a classroom activity (games, art project, one-on-one mentoring) or help with a special event (field day, dance party, fundraiser). Each group is matched to a project based upon the age of the participants, when the volunteers are available, and the needs of the agency. Contact our Volunteer Coordinator directly to discuss current needs and tailor an opportunity to fit your group specifically.
