Bivona volunteers dedicate thousands of hours every year to help our children. We could not do the important work we do without them.  Depending on the amount of direct contact you would like to have with our children, volunteer jobs require different levels of training. Our intention is to provide a meaningful, productive experience for all involved. 

We are regularly in need of volunteers for:

  • Front Desk Reception/ Family Waiting Room {Shifts available M-F 8:30a-5:00p)

    • Meet and greet clients, families, professional agency staff, volunteers and visitors to the building

    • Assist with waiting room oversight, including maintaining a safe and clean environment for children and families

    • Answer incoming telephone calls; answer general agency questions; triage calls to appropriate personnel

    • Provide general clerical tasks and office support as necessary to staff and team members

    • Must be reliable, dependable and comfortable working with children

  • Special Events

    • Assist with event set up and break down

    • Support staff during event check-in and check out

    • Assist guests with on-site purchases

    • Data entry
