Volunteer with us

Become a volunteer

Volunteers help families one-on-one with resumes, essays, applications, and interview practice. Because you'll be working with children and their families, every volunteer is interviewed and approved before getting access.

Your account is locked until an admin verifies you

Creating an account does not give you access to family information. Your account stays locked (pending) until you complete an interview and an admin approves you. This protects the privacy and safety of every family we serve.

How it works

  1. 1. Create your account

    Sign up with your email or Google. It takes about a minute — no application forms.

  2. 2. Your account starts locked

    Right after sign-up your account is pending. You can sign in, but family names, emails, and requests stay hidden.

  3. 3. Short interview with our team

    We email you to schedule a friendly 15–20 minute conversation about your background and how you'd like to help.

  4. 4. An admin approves you

    After the interview, an admin unlocks your account. You'll then see the dashboard and can claim family requests.
