Make a difference in the life of a child… Volunteer!
Becoming a Volunteer
When you donate your time with Maryville children and families, you will be given the opportunity to inspire others to break through personal barriers and reach their fullest potential. Our volunteer needs include the following positions:
Childcare Volunteers
Volunteers help staff provide quality care to children six years and under staying for a short term at the Crisis Nursery. Volunteers can also assist at the Children’s Healthcare Center, which provides care for medically fragile children ages birth to twenty-one.
Long-Term Volunteers
Application process, screening and orientation take approximately 2 to 4 weeks.
Volunteers must be 21 years old to work directly with teens or 18 years old to work with young children.
Special Events
If you or your organization would like to volunteer to benefit a Maryville Program, we are open to your ideas. Some possibilities include:
- Host a holiday party
- Sponsor a fundraiser
- Provide gifts for birthdays/Christmas or to our “Point Stores” that provide merit-based gifts for our children
- Invite our youth to a special event
- Donate admissions to events and activities in the Chicago area
- Serve at a Maryville event
