Volunteer Program

WORK DAYS FOR YOUR OFFICE OR SOCIAL GROUP:
We welcome groups of individuals to complete various projects at Seattle Children's Home. If you're looking for a team building activity or simply want to help a charity with a group of friends, let us know. We have indoor and outdoor projects that range from washing windows to painting rooms and more. To protect the privacy, safety and security of the children that SCH serves, we are not able to offer volunteer opportunities working directly with our clients.

ON-GOING OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS:
Thank you for your interest in Seattle Children's Home. At this time we do not have any volunteer opportunities for individuals. Similarly, we are unable to accommodate internships or court-ordered community service. We will update this page as our needs change. Please check back.

For information on volunteer opportunities, contact volunteers@seattlechildrenshome.org.
