What It Means to Volunteer

Becoming a Children and Family Urban Movement volunteer is one of the most rewarding decisions you can make. By showing up consistently and caring, you can help young people and families gain the support they need to thrive.

Together, you'll spend time doing meaningful things: helping with homework, serving meals, leading activities, or just being a friendly face. Over time, your presence becomes something that changes lives—including your own.

You don't need special training. You don't need to be a superhero. You just need to be there.

The Impact

Volunteers are mentors, helpers, and trusted friends. They come from all walks of life. And volunteers often say they gain just as much: new perspective, deeper empathy, and a lifelong connection to their community.

  • Build confidence and resilience in children
  • Help students improve academic performance
  • Provide healthy meals to families in need
  • Create a safe and supportive environment
  • Develop stronger community connections
