1. Get Your Group Together

We love to partner with businesses, corporations, churches, schools, civic groups, friends or families with children 10 years and older! Due to ICS policy, no children under 10 years of age are allowed to volunteer on-site, but they are more than welcome to volunteer from home until they can volunteer with parents at the age of 10. (For ideas on how to help the babies from home, click here.)

All kinds of groups are welcome. Due to our new safety practices, we accept groups of up to 20 individuals per shift.

2. Check Your Schedule

We book groups based on our availability, Monday through Thursday. Groups can choose the morning (10 am-12 pm) or afternoon shift (2 pm-4 pm) from available slots.

We are now booking for May through August. If you are interested in group volunteering, please schedule a couple of months in advance. We appreciate your support for the babies and toddlers we serve!
