Counseling & Family Services provides this listing of family volunteer opportunities in the Tri-County area as a free service to organizations seeking volunteers and families interested in volunteering. Jenny Friedman, author of the book “The Busy Family’s Guide to Volunteering,” says, “Each time we volunteer, we have an opportunity to teach our children that every human being has worth, that we are stewards of the planet, that the world is a better place when we care for others and the care for us.”

We endorse those words wholeheartedly, and hope that many fun and meaningful experiences will result from the information listed here.

COUNSELING & FAMILY SERVICES—Families are invited to volunteer for a variety of projects, including our annual Frosty 5K run/walk in January and activities related to our after school programs. Contact Debbie Ryva, at 309 676-2400 to inquire about current opportunities.
