Mission Statement
The mission of Children First is to encourage and facilitate the use of the tremendous skills and resources of Orange County's retired citizens to improve the early childhood development opportunities for Orange County's low-income youngsters.
Description
Children First encourages retirees to volunteer their time, experience and talent to benefit low-income children of ages 0-5 years in Orange County. Pre-schools that serve low income children are often under staffed and under budgeted. Retired volunteers can help give each child more individual attention in learning and developmental skills or work to support the staff and administration. We partner with preschools throughout Orange County and can match volunteers with centers that suit their needs and interests.
