COTS Celebrates
20 years
Serving the Community
1988-2008

The World you said you wanted to help heal is right in your backyard!
CALLING ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS who would love to share some time providing enrichment activities to homeless children residing in our Family Center. WE NEED YOU!

We have recently restructured our children’s program and have the following volunteer opportunities available. Childcare experience or a background in childhood education is a plus, but not required.

We are hoping to fill these volunteer positions as soon as possible, s please take a look!

Opportunities include:

  • Afternoon Care and Workshop Facilitators – Community volunteers are needed to provide support and guidance to children of all ages through art making, tutoring, educational workshops and other fun activities. Volunteers will have staff support and supervision and will receive training. Must be 18 years or older and complete fingerprinting screening. (Monday through Thursday 2:30 to 6:00pm.)
  • Evening Read A-loud – While parents tend to evening chores and duties, community volunteers are needed to read to young children and help them wind down for bedtime. Must be 18 years or older and complete fingerprinting screening. (Monday through Thursday, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.)
Orientations: Friday July 12th, 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. and Saturday July 26th, 10:00 to 12:00 p.m. at the COTS Family Center, 1500 Petaluma Blvd.S., Suite B. Please contact Margo Enos for more information at 971-0017 or Email
