Current Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are needed by the Kids First Program to play with the children between the drop-off and pick-up times.  Volunteers must be at least a senior in high school.  Volunteers, preferably 23 years or older, are needed to monitor the children during visitations with their non-custodial parent.  The program will provide all training necessary.  A background check and application are required.  Monitored exchanges and visitations take place on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday nights, usually from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.  If interested in this opportunity, contact Ann Pifer at 304-428-8721 or e-mail kidsfirstprogram@frontier.net.
