Volunteer

Opportunities

PROGRAM VOLUNTEER

Volunteers are the power behind an organization like Giant Steps. From special events to project coordination
and mass mailings, Giant Steps relies on it’s volunteers to help with a variety of tasks. Opportunities to work
directly with children receiving support from Giant Steps are limited.

Opportunities to help with mailings, laminating picture symbols, gardening during the summer months, and
general office tasks are always available. We always match a volunteer’s skills and interests to a needed task
at Giant Steps. Due to our hours of operation, these jobs need volunteers Monday through Friday, generally in
the morning.

If you are interested in volunteering please contact
Chenise Johnson, Fundraising and Events Associate, cjohnson@mygiantsteps.org
