Volunteer

Interested in volunteering at the Saint Joseph Parenting Center?  There a many ways to get involved with our work to “Educate the Parent-Benefit the Child.”

Classroom Instructors

Parents, Teachers, Nurses, Social Workers.

Do you have a special interest or professional expertise that can help an “at-risk” family?  We have a fully developed program to help you instruct our parents.  Class offerings include: nutrition, grooming and hygiene, budgeting and time management, shaken baby syndrome, and the importance of fathers.

Each two hour class is offered twice a week.  You can volunteer to teach a class in your area of expertise once a week, once a month, or once every six months.  New teacher training sessions are offered throughout the year.

Office Help

We need general administrative and reception assistance.  You can chose the hours that work with your schedule.

SJPC Food Pantry - The Food Closet

Our most urgent need regarding the food pantry is a volunteer who can coordinate with the local food bank to order, to purchase, and to pick-up food.  We can also use help with restocking our on-site inventory.

SJPC needs people who can coordinate a food drive through local schools, churches, or other civic organizations on behalf of our families.

Facility Maintenance

Electricians, painters and general handy-persons are needed to help maintain the Parenting Center.
