Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer Opportunities
We are pleased to be able to offer a variety of volunteer opportunities at Madonna Place!
We welcome people who have a skill or interest that matches with the needs of the agency. Do you have hobby you would like to share or teach? Do you have expertise in writing resumes? Are you good with a paintbrush or light carpentry skills? We are always interested in hosting craft activities and
self-improvement skills, as well as
beautifying the agency.
College Students
College Students are able to experience hands on interaction, assisting staff members and working with families in a variety of ways. We accept students with different requirements, from individuals who need limited number of field placement hours to Interns who may be with us for a semester. The assignments and tasks may vary depending on the education, experience and amount of time allotted to the agency.
Another great volunteer opportunity is with
The Nurturing Connections program!
THsi program connects volunteers with first time mothers through weekly telephone calls. The volunteers are able to support moms in their new role by providing developmental and safety information about the babies as well as emotional support to new mothers during this exciting time. For more information please contact Meg Pichette at Madonna Place (860-886-6600 ext 118).
Community Service Volunteers
We also accept individuals who need to complete Community Service for non-violent charges. Duties may include but are not limited to cleaning, organizing, minimal office work, etc. Hours completed will be documented and a letter of completion will be given
to the individual at the time they have
completed their requirement.
