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
Carol Marie O’Marrah, Development Manager, cmomarrah@mygiantsteps.org.
