Volunteer at Children and Family Urban Movement and support young people and families by showing up consistently. All it takes is a few hours a week and a willingness to make a difference.
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.
