Are you looking for ways to help homeless and low-income children in the Greater Philadelphia area? Then volunteer with Cradles to Crayons!

Volunteers are always needed to sort children's clothing, test and clean toys, examine books, or inspect equipment. All volunteer work is very hands-on, done in a lively and fun atmosphere, and directly beneficial to the children we serve.

Our volunteer hours are Tuesday through Friday, 10 AM - 3 PM. We also hold evening hours the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month, from 5 - 8 PM. Some Saturday hours are also available for volunteer groups by appointment.

We welcome individuals, families and children over six years of age, and small and large groups, including school groups, service clubs, corporate and religious organizations. For repeat volunteers, we have a service path to greater leadership and management opportunities.

To schedule a volunteer shift: contact Maggie Norrett at maggie@cradlestocrayons.org with your name, the number of people who'll be volunteering, and some potential times and dates you'd like to come in.

Or register on our website: www.cradlestocrayons.org (click "Volunteer at the Giving Factory" on the right side of the homepage)

Child volunteers must be over six years of age, and all children must be accompanied by an adult. Groups of children must have proper adult supervision: one adult to every two elementary-age kids, one adult to every four middle-school-age kids, and one adult to every six high-school-age kids. A brief orientation is provided to new volunteers on their first day of service.
