The Family Support and Treatment Center believes children are our most precious resource and secure, happy, well-adjusted children are our highest priority. As we work to prevent child abuse through education, and to heal families and break abusive cycles through therapy, we feel a partnership with the community we serve.

The Family Support and Treatment Center offers interested citizens an opportunity to channel their desire to make a difference in the community. Volunteer positions are available in the crisis respite nursery and support group programs. The primary need is for volunteers in the nursery which provides emergency respite care to families in crisis.

Becoming a Volunteer

Volunteers are needed to provide one-on-one, positive interaction with the children. We ask for two-three hours a week for a four-month period. Volunteering takes place seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Volunteers under 16 will need to have an adult accompany them.

Volunteers also need to complete an application for a background check and bring a form of picture identification (driver's license or state-issued ID) to be copied for our records. Volunteers may volunteer in the nursery during the time the background check is being completed.

We encourage students who are considering child-related careers to volunteer; it is a wonderful opportunity to gain experience!

Service Project Opportunity

There is also opportunity for groups to do special projects. Groups can come in one time to play with the children, clean the nursery, or do drives to collect supplies or food for the nursery. This is especially helpful around the holidays.
