Independent Volunteers create bonds with one specific child at the Center. They are teamed with a child following Orientation, based on their areas of interest, skill sets, availability and compatibility with the child. While Independent Volunteers are encouraged to get to know any or all of the children at the Center, their primary responsibility is to develop a friendship with a child who will share that same gift of friendship in return. Volunteers in this position may create a visiting schedule that fits in their life and enables optimal time with the child. Assignments can be scheduled any day of the week within visiting hours. While we ask for some basic outline of a schedule, there is flexibility available.
