Volunteer Opportunities
We’d like to encourage the community to join our volunteer family at Special Kids Special Families. It is important for us to match each volunteer with an opportunity that allows them to utilize their skills or interests and to bring the most help to the families and clients we aim to serve. As a nonprofit organization, it would be very challenging to provide the same level of services if it were not for the generosity of our volunteers. By utilizing volunteers, it helps us minimize costs and maximize services saving us thousands of dollars every year!
