Volunteering

Blakemore Children’s Center welcomes volunteers and gratefully appreciates the contributions they make to the success of our program. Below is a list of possible volunteer opportunities, but we are open to and welcome your ideas.

• Reading Partner: Come share a story during circle time, read to a small group or one on one with a child.

• Special Visitor: Share a special talent or activity with the children.

• Computer Companion: Assist children as they use age-appropriate software and learn to use the printer.

• Field Trip Chaperone: Join us on a walking field trip in our neighborhood or accompany us to the public library, etc. when we ride the Metro bus.

• Blakemore Children’s Center Board Member: Meetings are once a month.

• Special Events: Help with special events and fundraisers such as Breakfast with Santa, Book Fair, Brownie Bake-off and Carnival.
