Family Volunteering

Children for Change partners with over 20 nonprofits in the Bay Area to curate family-friendly volunteer opportunities year round. If our programs are provided at your child's school, you have access to our year-round programs and volunteer calendar. On average there are 15 different opportunities/month for your family to do good out in community through advocacy and volunteer opportunities like:

  • Distributing food in the Canal with Marin Community Clinics
  • Assembling shower kits for Downtown Streets Team
  • Cleaning up our beaches with Marin County Parks
  • Distributing diapers with Postpartum Support Center
  • Hosting Bingo nights with Cedars Marin
  • Preparing sack meals for St. Vinnies

FAMILY ORIENTATION

Our Family Orientations are joyful evenings to learn more about Children for Change, our programming and approach. Adults leave with a few of our family-friendly tools to discuss community engagement at home, and students complete a service project while we're together. A recent attendee said

"Our family feels much more connected to community and likeminded families after attending! We're so excited to jump in!"

Register now for one of our upcoming Family Orientations:

  • Nov 13 5:30 - 6:30
  • Feb 10 6 - 7
  • March 10 5:30 - 6:30
  • April 1 5:30 - 6:30
  • Orientations are free for families attending a current C4C School. For all other families, the Orientation has a $50 fee which can be waived if it is a financial barrier. After attending, your family has ongoing, unlimited access to C4C programming.
