Make a Difference in the Life of a Child

Volunteers at the Children's Response Center help create a safe, comfortable, and nurturing atmosphere where children can feel safe as well as supported with their families. Your volunteerism will also support our efforts to provide the best possible service for children who have been traumatized through some form of abuse, neglect or another traumatic experience.
