Join Generation Hope's Hope Corps as a Childcare Volunteer!

Do you love working with children and want to support young parents as they pursue their college degrees? Generation Hope is looking for compassionate volunteers to provide on-site childcare for the children of our Scholars (teen parents in college) during programming events.

When?
Our events take place mostly on Saturdays, with occasional weekday events throughout the year.

Upcoming Events:

  • Wednesday, February 5, 6 PM- 8PM
  • Saturday, March 15, 9 AM - 1 PM
  • Thursday, March 20th
  • Wednesday, April 2th
  • Thursday, April 17th
  • Thursday, May 15th
  • May 30 - June 1 (weekend event in Loranger, LA)
  • Wednesday, June 4th

What’s Involved?
Volunteers provide childcare while parents attend programming. Parents remain nearby during events.

Why Volunteer?
By joining our Hope Corps, you’re directly helping young parents focus on their education while ensuring their children are cared for in a safe and nurturing environment. This is an impactful way to give back and empower families in your community.

Volunteer Requirements:

  • All volunteers 18+ must have a background check on file. (If you’re unsure whether your background check is current, reach out to us!)
  • Volunteers must complete a 1-hour Childcare Volunteer Training before volunteering.
  • Volunteers are asked to commit to at least three events per year.

Let’s make a difference, one family at a time!
