If you enjoy spending time with young children and believe that every child deserves high-quality care in a safe and compassionate environment, we invite you to volunteer in our Early Learning Center classrooms! At New Hope for families, we provide full-day care (Monday - Friday from 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM) for infants up through age 5. We welcome children of all income levels and prioritize enrollment for children impacted by homelessness in a mixed-income cohort.
As an Early Learning Center (ELC) Classroom Volunteer, you can look forward to engaging with children in conversation and play, assisting with art and science projects, keeping the children engaged during times of transition (such as lunch/snack time), and simply being a compassionate and caring friend. This volunteer role is for those age 18 and up, though teens age 16-17 may volunteer with a parent. Volunteers should expect to commit to a shift of 2 hours per week for a minimum of 3 months.
If you are interested in becoming an Early Learning Center (ELC) Classroom Volunteer, please complete a volunteer profile on our website (https://www.newhope4families.org/volunteer). We will then reach out to you to discuss the next steps, which include scheduling a volunteer onboarding session. Questions may be directed to our Volunteer Specialist, Amber Griffin, via email (amber@newhope4families.org) or phone (812-334-9840 ext 119).
We look forward to you joining the hope movement as a volunteer!
