Programs To Get Involved In

Friends at Home

The Friends @ Home program gives children the chance to get to know their volunteers in an environment that they are most comfortable - their own homes. The volunteers generally visit for 1.5 hours weekly. Once we receive your form our coordinators will find an appropriate match for your child. The time frame for finding a match depends on age, location, and flexibility.
