We are seeking volunteers to assist with our early childhood screening program, KidScreen.
KidScreen is a hearing, vision, and speech/language screening program offered by the Marion Downs Center to promote early identification of communication and learning problems. Most doctors’ offices do not offer comprehensive screening for hearing, speech and functional vision at well child checkups. KidScreen encourages follow up on post-screening referrals.
KidScreen sites are spread throughout the Denver metro area. We typically are very busy in the fall and slower in the spring. Opportunities for a fall volunteer are available Monday-Thursday and likely some Fridays as well. Most screenings occur in the mornings, but we may have a few afternoon screenings as well.
Volunteer Expectations
- Available 1-2 days a week, mostly in mornings
- Complete a background check (cost will be covered by the Marion Downs Center)
Volunteer Duties
- Meet 15 minutes before start of screening to bring in equipment
- Set up screening equipment
- Administer hearing, vision, and speech screenings
- Data entry of screening results
- Monitoring flow of children and screenings
- Assisting with loading and carrying of KidScreen equipment
