Show Up for Children.

Strengthen Families.

Build Community.

caring takes many forms

At One Place, caring takes many forms. Sometimes it looks like giving time. Sometimes it looks like lending a skill. Sometimes it simply means showing up when children and families need support most.

Volunteering with One Place is about meaningful engagement that puts children first — and honors the dignity and safety of the families we serve.

Purposeful Opportunities That Put Children First

Volunteer Involvement That Makes a Difference

Volunteering with One Place is about meaningful, thoughtful engagement that puts children first and honors the dignity, privacy, and safety of the families we serve. Whether your availability is occasional or ongoing, there may be an opportunity to make a real difference.

Because much of our work supports children and families navigating trauma, crisis, or significant transitions, volunteer opportunities at One Place are intentional and carefully designed. We may not have open, daily volunteer roles — but we deeply value community members who are willing to step in when opportunities arise.

Each opportunity is aligned with our mission and guided by what is best for the children and families we serve.
