Become a Volunteer!

Caring people are always needed, and there are many ways to volunteer!

Mentorships

Mentoring, at its core, guarantees young people that there is someone who cares about them, assures them they are not alone in dealing with day-to-day challenges, and makes them feel like they matter.

Internships

Looking to gain experience working with children? Want to see the different roles within a non profit organization? We offer internships where you can shadow the staff and interact with the students during programming.

Partnerships

ConnectiKids has been fortunate to partner with other organizations to help with specific projects through out the year. Companies have helped prep for the school year, wrap gifts during the holidays, organize our library and more!
