Volunteer at Sioux Falls Children's Home
Have heart. Give hope.
Volunteers enhance our work in providing excellent services to vulnerable children, adults and families. The children, adults and families we serve are CHS’s top priority. We carefully protect their safety, health and confidentiality and expect volunteers to do the same.
All volunteers who spend direct time with a child must be at least 21 years old and complete an application process which includes fingerprinting and background checks. Volunteers who have one-on-one mentoring relationships with children must complete training. We ask all volunteers to make at least a one-year commitment.
Thank you for your interest in our volunteer opportunities!
Big Buddy
Being a Big Buddy provides a special opportunity to become a friend and mentor to a child. Big Buddies commit to one year of visiting a CHS child, typically on a weekly basis with a minimum of two visits per month. Big Buddies also may act on a student’s behalf in the educational decision-making process.
School/Classroom Buddy
School/Classroom Buddies tutor children, provide help to teachers and help straighten the library at Loving School. This position has opportunities to “adopt” a classroom or work in different locations as needed and may help mornings or afternoons.
