Organizing & Cleaning -- Child Development Center (weekends)

Description

Volunteers are needed to help us with cleaning and organizing in our child development center.

Here's how volunteers will help: 

  • Deep cleaning — wiping surfaces, sanitizing toys, cleaning classrooms, refreshing play areas.
  • Organizing materials — sorting books, toys, art supplies, learning materials, storage closets.

About volunteering: A volunteer orientation is provided when you first arrive.

Note: This program does not accept court-ordered community service.
