Get Involved

There are many ways to support Children’s Cove and help strengthen our community.

Whether you volunteer your time, support our mission through Friends of Children’s Cove, or attend an event, your involvement makes a meaningful difference.

Volunteer

Volunteers play an important role in helping Children’s Cove raise awareness and connect with the community.

Volunteer opportunities may include:

  • Staffing informational tables at community events
  • Sharing educational materials with schools and organizations
  • Supporting awareness campaigns and outreach efforts

Because of the sensitive and confidential nature of our work, volunteers do not work directly with children.

If you’re interested in volunteering, please complete our Volunteer Interest Form or contact Heidi Friedel, Community Programs Coordinator, with any questions.

Internships

Children’s Cove offers unpaid internship opportunities for select High-School students in our community engagement program, Bachelor’s students in our direct services program, and Graduate students in our mental health program.

Potential Interns will need to:

  • Complete of application and submission of resume
