Child care volunteer: We are looking for motivated individuals with a heart for families/children with special needs. This is an opportunity to help the parents of these families to have a night out while putting their mind at ease that they have one-on-one care for their children and siblings.

More importantly, this is the opportunity for you to essentially care for/play with these children and their siblings. We have themed crafts, toys, games, movies and a quiet room all to create a safe and accepting environment for these children. Everything is provided for you; we just need you, your heart and your time.

The Broomfield site holds our Night Lights evening on the 2nd Friday of most months. While we don't require 100% participation from our volunteers, we hope that we can get a minimum commitment of 6 evenings per year.

We would love to have you join our team and help us help these families!
