Volunteers and interns have enriched the lives of many and we at Child & Family are deeply thankful for your support.

When a community comes together through the efforts of service to one another, change and growth are within reach. Rhode Island residents assist in a wide variety of ways from helping with holiday food and gift programs, tutoring and yard work to administrative support.

All volunteer and intern positions require an interview and some require a background check. For more information about volunteering or interning at Child & Family email hr@childandfamilyri.org.
