We invite you to get involved with us and make a difference in our community by joining our team of volunteers!
At Family & Children Services, volunteers are essential to fulfilling our mission of building strong, safe, and self-sufficient individuals, families, and communities. Family & Children Services has volunteer opportunities for a variety of skills and interests, including program and administrative support and special events. Please note that for client confidentiality reasons and due to the sensitive nature of treatment we do not offer opportunities working directly with children.
If you would like to learn about any of the opportunities listed below or discuss other ideas you have, please call Maryanne McGlothlin, senior director of development, at 650-326-6576, or complete the Contact Us form.
