Be an “Everyday Hero”
to a child and family
Be an “Everyday Hero” to a child and family when you volunteer at Children’s Harbor! We’re grateful for our volunteers’ willingness to share their time, talent, and special gifts with us.
It has been said that volunteers are not paid – not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless. We know ours are. Above all, we know from experience that volunteers help make a difference in the lives of children and families we serve. We consider Children’s Harbor volunteers our partners.
