It is important to us that we match your skills, talents and interests with a unique volunteer opportunity. Watson Children's Shelter has limited volunteer opportunities, therefore, we appreciate your willingness to complete the volunteer application and your patience with the process. Here are a few examples of past volunteer contributions:
- tutoring (a minimum 6 month commitment)
- craft project instruction
- holiday ornament
- watercolor artistic presentation
- service group or club projects
- balloon animal making
- magic trick exhibition
- bicycle repair services
- window washing
- repair and maintenance services
- professional painting
- Bike For Shelter event day volunteer
(occurs Saturday of Mother's Day weekend annually)

Volunteers, please understand: Because of the trauma frequently experienced by the children before they arrive at Watson Children's Shelter, we maintain professional staff who are educated and experienced in child related programs and who complete required annual training hours. Therefore, we do not have volunteers in direct care positions. Though we allow volunteers to work with the children, we limit this number in order to maintain a familiar, comfortable homelike atmosphere, decreasing a high number of new faces. We do appreciate you and your willingness to serve!
