Childcare volunteers play a vital role in enabling families to access support and services offered by Amara. By providing exceptional, trauma informed care to children, their parents and/or foster parents are able to attend and engage in workshops, support groups, and other events.
Volunteers ensure children are safe and having fun. From coloring to Netflix to playing together, volunteers make the fun happen!
