Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer opportunities exist for organizations and individuals alike.  Volunteers under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult. To ensure the safety of our Team Members, background checks are required when volunteers work directly with Team Members. Please include a check for $15 with your completed Volunteer application to cover the costs of the background check; your check will be returned to you after five hours of volunteering. If you would like additional information about volunteer opportunities, please contact us at [email protected]
