Volunteer Descriptions

First Day Program Volunteers:  Become the calm, steady presence a child needs during one of the most difficult moments of their life. As a First Light Volunteer, you will support children experiencing major changes in foster care — whether entering care, moving between homes, or reunifying with family. This higher-commitment role is perfect for dependable individuals with weekday availability who want to make a meaningful, hands-on impact. You’ll help create a safe, welcoming environment, guide emotional regulation activities, and walk alongside children as they navigate uncertainty with dignity and support. If you’re compassionate, reliable, and passionate about helping children during critical transitions, this role offers a powerful opportunity to truly be the light when it matters most.  

Classes Volunteer:  Are you interested in helping children learn to regulate with fun activities with Art or Boxing?  The Light House needs volunteers to work with the children in foster care to learn better coping techniques and better their mental health.  Volunteers are passionate about helping these children go from struggling with stress and bottled up emotions to be able to express the large emotional burden that comes with being in foster care and experiencing trauma.  If you are interested or would like to know more, click to apply below.

Event Volunteer:  The Light House has many events that happen throughout the year that are done in our community.  There are Awareness events that are done with foster families to give back like our Easter Egg Chase or Holiday Store that are just fun for the families that are in foster care.  Volunteers for Awareness Events help with planning, decor, games and fun activites for the families, and help families sign up for our programs. Fundraising events are also done throughout the year to help us provide support for our programs.  Fundraising volunteers will help with various tasks like set up/take down, contests and games, and check in.
