Volunteers Needed

Volunteers play a huge role at Bivona—they help with almost every aspect of our operation. Here are some of the ways you can help:

Reception Desk: greet families, answer phone. Basic computer skills are helpful.

General Office Work: familiar with copier, and with Microsoft Word and Excel computer programs.

Special Projects: help with mailings and preparations for special events.

Community Outreach: represent Bivona at various community events, usually by staffing Biivona information table.

We ask you to fill out a Volunteer Application and, because of the sensitive nature of our work with children, agree to a criminal background check.
